The interface is really nice on a phone. Clean, very responsive. The image auto-upload is a really spiffy feature, but I feel a little creeped out about it, even if it does upload everything to a private Picasa album and I need to act to make images public.
The integrated group conversation feature ("Huddle") is really slick.
Not as nice on a Honeycomb tablet; you get the typical "just stretch the phone interface" behavior. It's still usable, but just not optimal. Honestly I'm a little surprised they didn't push this app out the door without a tablet-specific interface.
- rakkhi 15y agoDo you find yourself using hangouts on the mobile? This is a feature I could see leaving on all day on the iPad (on free wireless and plugged into power)
- ben1040 15y agoSadly the hangout feature isn't implemented in the mobile app; it's the top feature on my wishlist. It's something I'd certainly like to be able to use on my tablet for sure. The only "real time" group conversation feature is "Huddle," which is just a group text chat -- and this feature isn't available on the website at all, only on the native mobile app. I've only used this feature once; I might use it more often if I had more friends with Android phones who were also on Google+.

It's pretty nice when people try to get you to remove some pictures (e.g. it's useful for some protesters), since as soon as you get a picture it's on the cloud.
