Google+ iOS app now compatible with iPad

I doubt it will take long for a full screen iPad version to come out, then again you never know, might not be on top of the priority list for Google, guess we'll just wait and see.

The new comparability adds nothing to the application, I have installed it on iPad before through Installous and it was working perfectly, but it lacks horizontal oriantation on both iPhone and iPad,
I also modified it’s info.plist file to work as iPad application and it works perfectly but I see the application is lacking the drag and drop feature for circles.

This version works great on iOS 5 as the previous version was always crashing.

I had made an article on how to covert google+ app to be iPad friendly.

If your iPad is still at 4.3.3, you can jailbreak your iPad and install FullForce via Cydia, then enable Google+ in FullForce. You get something like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/794678/images/GooglePlusFullForce.png

FYI, for those who jailbroke their iPads: the free add-on called FullForce does a pretty good job of reformatting Google+ (and Google Voice, for that matter) for the iPad, so that you can use the normal iPad keyboard and such.

Why is it so stinking hard for companies like Facebook and Google, with their infinite amount of resources, to write a simple app for the easier platform there could possibly be to develop for?

at first i was : D
and then i was D :

well, it's a step in the right direction, i guess.

I signed up for Google+, and sent invites to a lot of my friends. But, honestly, I can't figure out what to do with it. I don't see it replacing FB anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Google+ still doesn't work with Google Apps email accounts, and HBO's "GO" app doesn't work with Time Warner Cable, even though both of them are owned by Time Warner. Just another day in crazy town!

And by iPad support they mean a blown 2x of the non retina display iPhone version now works on the iPad. Meh.
