From Molen Brad posted on June 30, 2011 9: 35 AM given the number of Google applications for smartphones, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that it has its own set of social networking services in the mobile world. As soon as Google + has been officially announced, the application is ready for download in the Android market, and Web applications are now available for Safari for iOS (with its full proposal to the App Store, coming soon). As usual we couldn't resist the desire to play around with it, but as a mobile iteration fare against the competition? Continue past the break to get a glimpse of life larger than life, squeezed into a screen 4.3 (or less).
When we downloaded the Google + of the market, two icons appear in the tray app: one has the same name as a service and conspiracy. Both took us to the same app, but Google + put us on the home screen--portal that provides a stream, conspiracy, photos, circle and line sections--while the last two icons altogether this screen and started us on the service itself huddle.
Huddle is the only service in Google + Suite exclusively offered on the Android app. it uses the same style messaging as we've come to expect with any standard IM client, and as a result, it doesn't bring anything new to the table. This gives you the opportunity to chat up with groups or terrorists, and you can use other applications, as you wait for the response, since incoming messages will be produced as a regular notification. If most of your friends use Google, this puts the huddle on a par with your phone messaging app. sounds a lot like Google Talk, but unfortunately these two services are not counted at all. And although huddle much mobile-friendly, there is no way to continue the chat on your computer as soon as you get home; Huddle is nowhere to be seen on the home page of Google +, and chrome extensions or other browser add-ons have been provided for it yet. We will be glad to see that thrown shortly--we probably you spoiled our recent run-in with MightyText, but hey ...
For services that can be synced but we enjoy a seamless experience between your application and your computer. For example, the application offers the possibility of instant download, which makes exactly as the name suggests: immediately after the new snapshot is on your phone, the image gets pushed private album that will be displayed on Google Picasa + and at the same time. After downloading, we went back to the computer and noticed the ability to "share photos from your phone, with our picture sitting there waiting, together with all or certain circles. Lack? After you run the application on multiple devices, we are determined that downloaded imagery to get quality, in order to cut down on data transfer and use; Our high-res photos appeared in a paltry 720 x 540 for plus and 2048 x 1536 to Picasa--and it has remained the same, using cameras with different resolutions.
You can also share your location, if desired. Thread has three options, which you can swipe the screen left or right to view your quarters, seeing the status of those in the immediate vicinity and check incoming messages. You can view all your photo albums and choose photos to share with any of the circles, you want to see and edit your Google profile and invite others in your community.
The absence of function Hangout surprised us. Leaving it, it feels like we missed out on the perfect way to take a front-facing camera phone--of course, it wasn't until Android 2.3.4 that we enjoy the same functionality for Google Talk at the Nexus of S, so it can be something just reserved for the latest and greatest operating system changes.
In General Google app + does a commendable job to find a full Web experience right up to the level of mobile, although we can say that the application is not using its full potential, excluding hangouts and disregard for synchronization with our computers. The program is still the test status, which means there are some minor errors, which should reach before it is ready for the public--not to touch base on--very small, but our sneak peek was a brilliant success otherwise.
