Google+ Debuts in App Store

In case you try to search it, it won't come up. You either have to wait until it is in the top most popular app (to see it) or click on the link in this story. I think new apps don't get indexed immediately. I tried "google+" and "google plus".
Yeah, but you can only save the auth code for 30 days. App-Specific passwords are permanent (until you revoke it at least). You have to admit, it is fairly inelegant having to swap between the authenticator and the app to be able to log in (if you forget to check that little box).
Here's the lead product manager for the mobile apps at Google responding to early feedback.

Does anyone even have Google+ yet? All I see are the reporters and tech bloggers having it. But no one I know has it yet.
And when listening to tech podcasts, they're all under the assumption that EVERYONE has it and have gone on to talk about tips and tricks and how people use it...when it still just seems to be some exclusive club of a few high-profile people.
It sounds great, but I'm sick of everyone in the tech-news world talking about it when it seems they're the only ones that have it.

Exactly why I didn't post mine.
Yeah 20 million+ users I hear now, there definitely isn't that many tech bloggers! I know about 30 people with it and I only have had it 24 hours. Seems to be growing pretty quick.
Most MR members who want an invite have one now
Its an extra security feature for Gmail and other Google products.

And then you quote his post so that even if he edits the original post you're still showing his address in your post? Brilliant.

Wow, that looks identical to Facebook.

Bummer that the app is iPhone only. Was hoping for a native client on my iPod, even if it had less features than the iPhone version. Oh well, at least there is a good web app. Bad thing about the web app is that there's no way to upload photos.
Wow! Growing quite fast. I remember hearing a few days or a week ago that in it's first 2 weeks Google+ reached 10M users. Pretty good for invite only.

I think people have been aching for a viable Facebook alternative for a while now.
I'm one of those people. Before I eve heard of Google+ I wanted to deactivate my Facebook account. I haven't yet, but I plan to slowly remove my information and photos from Facebook and move them over to Google+.
If you or anyone needs an invite, I can invite you. PM me.

Looks like the app store was serving a test version of the Google+ app for the first hour and 40 mins. Get the latest version 1.0.1.1809

Uh........ What?
"If Apple hadn't taken so long approving, AND Apple had released their now-beta OS two months early, it would be a problem!" Is that honestly your argument?
I would have to imagine that if iOS 5 were released in the past three weeks, either:
A. iOS would be stable enough that this app would work.
B. Apple wouldn't have approved the Google App because it doesn't work with iOS 5.
For people complaining, the idea of iOS 5's current status is for developers to work on their own apps with it. I'm sure Google is doing everything they can to make it work with iOS 5, including working directly with Apple, if necessary.
Yeah, it's an inconvenience to not have all apps work, but that's why Apple specifically tells you not to use your 'production' equipment with iOS 5. (Just as how the developer previews/betas of Mac OS X say not to use them on production systems.)
You agreed to the terms when you joined the developer program and installed preview/beta software.
What's that? You DIDN'T agree? You're NOT running it legally? Then stop bitching! Wait for iOS 5 to come out to the general public, and lo-and-behold, you'll find that there won't be these annoying incompatibilities. (And if you ARE a developer running it legitimately: 1. You shouldn't be talking about it on a public board, 2. You should know that Google (and possibly Apple) are working to resolve it. Stop bitching.)
