Can you show how stream looks like?
Does it work only on jailbroken device? I've tried on my iPad but it crashes on start.

Yes, you need a jailbroekn device and iFile to make it work as a native app on iPad.
If you don't have a jailbroken device you can always run it in 2x mode.

Here is a screenshot from stream :

i'm confounded that there isn't a fully functional iPad app at this point.

It seems a touch more stable than the last version but MAN that's one ghastly app.

I get a headache looking at that freakishly ugly tab bar!!

IOS 5 Working

Finally, it works on my iphone 4 CDMA with IOS 5 Beta 5 =)

EDIT: mazz0, didn't mean to steal your word it must have been stuck in my head from reading the thread.

Haha, don't worry, consider it opensource 🙂

I don't mind the app, except for the home screen - I don't normally mind the flat look, but that screen is just TOO dull, not helped by that horrible light-light-grey. Yuck.

I'd like to see hang-outs included though.

I don't mind the Facebook app either - what's everyone's problem with that? Admittedly I don't have much experience with it as Facebook's full of meaningless banal rubbish, as opposed to interesting nerdy stuff in Google+!

Regarding iPad compatibility - what's wrong with browser based versions on iPad (except in iOS 5 where Safari keeps crashing, obviously!)?

I'm asking as someone who's never programmed an app for the iPhone: is it really that hard to implement landscape keyboard support? The lack of in-app editing of posts I can understand (to a degree), but being resigned to a portrait-oriented keyboard is driving me nuts.

I'd really like to just have a native iPad app. Hopefully they can come out with this one soon. I bet it would be very useful.

g+ is going to be big. Get on the Beta Train now.

Blah app :-/

g+ is going to be big. Get on the Beta Train now.

Won't overthrow Facebook anytime soon.

Who wants to sign up for yet ANOTHER social network? Not me. Not anyone I know.

Google today updated its Google+ app for iOS devices, most notably adding support for the iPad and iPod touch. The app had debuted nearly three weeks ago as an iPhone-only offering.

Unfortunately, while the app will now run on the iPad, the new version of Google+ is not yet a universal application. Consequently, it does not offer an iPad-optimized interface and is instead limited to displaying the iPhone interface at either 1x or 2x size.Google+ is Google's new social networking service that has seen relatively rapid adoption as a competitor to Facebook and other social sites.

Probably just as well. If Google decides your name doesn't fit their standards, they'll just disable your account anyway.
