Social networking applications for Android operating system: One step forward – Part 3

2. Google + App

Although it has been only seven months since the launch of Google’s own social networking website, it has been embraced warmly by networking enthusiasts. In the light of the social demand, Google has developed its own application for its own operating system.

Google+ for Android is a clean and intuitive mobile app that has all of the powers of its desktop counterpart save for the games and a few other minor features.

The Google+ app opens up to a dashboard of icons leading to the different sections of the service: Stream, Messenger, Photos, Profile, and Circles. As a whole, the interface looks and feels very much like the full desktop version of Google+, and navigating
the app is incredibly intuitive.

Stream
Stream is really the lifeblood of Google+. By default, this section of the app displays feeds for All Circles, Nearby Google+ users (based on your GPS location), and Incoming posts. Additionally, you can add your own feeds if you want to keep tabs specifically
on Family, Co-workers, and so on. To move between feed views, simply swipe left and right.

Profile
Here, you can see your Google+ public profile page, all of your posts, and all of your photos. Unfortunately, you cannot edit any of your profile information (except for your photo) from the Google+ app, which is a minor letdown.
