To my surprise Google also released an official app immediately in the Android Market for its Android users not to lose their mobile experience. Coming to the application I felt that the app hasn’t missed anything that the Web platform performs. I am able to do everything in the app that I performed in the web version.

This indicated google hadn’t missed anything in the app. More or less I felt that the app is similar to that of the Facebook app for Android.
In my view Google + is nothing but a blend of Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, +1, Check in, buzz=Google+.

Interestingly, this app also has a widget so that we can update direct from the Home screen itself.

The 2nd image shows the update window after tapping the widget on Home screen. Your location is automatically updated, in case to add privacy you can even remove your location.

You can even attach photos to your updates. There is also an option in the settings which updates every photo you take from your device automatically to G+ update, this option can also be unchecked incase if one needs privacy.

The 3rd image is the main home screen of the application. If you flip the Notification bar upwards you can see your entire Notifications received.
