the new UI in v2 is just plain useless. I wish i can downgrade to the old UI :(

They removed the link that lets ipad users use the desktop view.

that made Google+ fairly useless on my ipad.

I also experience safari crash if Iswitch to desktop view. I find the mobile Ui quite good, although it misses some of the features. Eventually, there should be new protocols so that websites could enjoy full integration (e.g. Notifications, etc.) without having to design a specific app. The current situation is silly and not tenable.

I don’t get it. The new UI of the desktop version looks as if it were made to be used on tablets. So I thought it’s the compensation for the missing native ipad app.

But if I switch to desktop view on my ipad3 safari crashes. Really strange.

It’s odd that Google + hadn’t created an app for iPad or Android tablets, but optimizing for mobile web is a step in the right direction for the social network. Allowing more mediums for people to easily access the site will keep people on the site longer, and make users happier. The next logical step is definitely to actually create a native app for tablets.

It’s still trying to force a log in to view a Public post via a mobile browser, Therefore, it’s still broken. Google’s engineers to log out once in a while to test their services.

This is sad and probably one of the reasons that Google+ is not gaining any traction. Every morning I log into Zite and Flipboard. Full integration into Twitter and Facebook…but none to Google+. No native iPad app after all this time. This is why I seldom use Google+. Give me an iPad app…and I would become a daily user.

The Facebook iPhone app is just a silly web wrapper anyway as well.

As Facebook didn’t bother with the iPad for a long time since the iPad is a niche device, not 800k/day like Android or 400 million like Windows 7, the iPad is also not a priority at Google
