### 2/5 — I guess it's ok...

*2012-08-29, version 1.0.0*

Can't tell cause I can't get rid of that damned search for friends window! And wow! Is that ad big enough?!

### 2/5 — So much for that

*2012-05-04, version 1.0.0*

I wanted to give this app a try. But I can't even get past the "this app would be better with friends" popup. Just frustrating.

### 1/5 — Completely non-functional

*2012-03-18, version 1.0.0*

Find Friends popup won't go away no matter which button I tap (skip, continue, X), so timeline is inaccessible. Support link from app page goes to a blank page. Total deadened.

### 3/5 — Seemed Nice at First

*2012-03-13, version 1.0.0*

Was able to log in just fine & see my G+ stream & then when I tapped on links to read more in someones stream, it didn't work. It brought up a profile window for someone mentioned in the post instead. Button to close that window did not work when tapped. Tried to change to different stream & another window opened & tapping the button to close was not working again. Closed out, deleted app.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-03-11, version 1.0.0*

Wouldn't let me past initial setup on stream for +

### 2/5 — Potential

*2012-02-01, version 1.0.0*

The app has some major issues, but the UI is nice, and it has major potential. I would love to use this once is actually works. Fix:

Some linking issues
No way to get rid of a panel
Doesn't load stream
Slow sometimes

Six these, and the app is golden.

### 1/5 — Buggy, cheap data aggregator.

*2012-01-29, version 1.0.0*

This app is a poorly-coded mash-up of data feeds, presented in mess of sliding windows that seem to have mind of their own. Locks up frequently when switching tabs. 

The app refuses to remember my google login, and both the g+ and twitter sections are just direct feeds of the mobile view from each app. I can view those without the clutter via my browser, so why keep this app? 

If you're looking for a clean interface that does a great job of displaying your g+ and/or twitter feed, and an intuitive interface for interacting with those social media services, this app ain't it.

### 1/5 — Login?

*2012-01-27, version 1.0.0*

is there anyway I can login with my yahoo account? It's the one I used since they're, like, "linked" on web... But I haven't been able to test G-Pad since I can't get past the login screen...

### 1/5 — Really excited, then really disappointed.

*2012-01-25, version 1.0.0*

I was waiting for someone to come out with a good application for posting to my google plus account, and I was really excited when I finally saw this app hit the marketplace.  Unfortunately I was equally disappointed when basically all it's funny function-able to do is show the main feed.  I can't write any posts, I can't even see inside circles which is pointless.

Too bad, ideally in theory it's a good app.

### 1/5 — Shooting gallery

*2012-01-25, version 1.0.0*

There are so many problems I'm not going to waste ,y time listing them.  I'm sure it's obvious to the developers, but until they fix it, don't download.

### 2/5 — Needs refining

*2012-01-15, version 1.0.0*

The photo interface is completely non-responsive. Tabs that open my-pad style do not open and close like one would expect. Finally, the sign-out option gives you two options: Cancel, or sign in to Twitter...does not actually sign you out of google.

### 1/5 — Can't run

*2012-01-01, version 1.0.0*

Doesn't respond after clicking on accepting terms and conditions. Wastage. Deleted !

### 3/5 — A pretty wrapper for a lame mobile website

*2011-12-27, version 1.0.0*

I'll give the author three stars for the effort, but all this app does is put a sidebar menu on Google's own worthless mobile web version of Google+ --something they should be doing anyway.

Some panels don't respond when trying to dismiss them or browse backward, and the Twitter integration is completely superfluous. I already have a Twitter app; I don't need it blended with my G+ experience.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2011-12-27, version 1.0.0*

I can't get past the entry screen. I tap "Accept Terms" & it does nothing. Very disappointed. I've deleted & reloaded with the same results.

### 3/5 — App to the web app.

*2011-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Not to bad with the integration buttons on the left. I would pay .99 or even 1.99 to get rid of the ads at the bottom. 3 stars because it still lacks some functionality of the iPhone app. Not their fault, but really looking forward to the official app from Google.

### 1/5 — horribly buggy

*2012-06-07, version 1.0.0*

extremely buggy, can't believe is app was put out on the app store.  clicking on any image from people in my circles results in invalid URLs.  I tried many people in my circles and I have close to 8,000 people, picked about 14 at random and the same result, invalid URLs for each person from my sample.   deleted this app within 10 minutes.  I'm glad I chose to download the free version and not lose money.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2012-06-03, version 1.0.0*

This application need a lot of improvement before it becomes something good in the market

### 1/5 — Wow...

*2012-05-25, version 1.0.0*

What a garbage. I am forgiving for little bugs etc. cuz all that can happen with even best ideas and apps, however if the app designed for a specific purpose is worse then website version of whatever is offered, it makes it useless and time wasting development for both user and whomever chose to spend some time to design it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-05-01, version 1.0.0*

I realize Google is to blame for not having a proper G+ app but this is just bad. I appreciate the effort but after sign in which is just a mobile web page none of the navigation works but Gmail. I'll save myself the time and just access through the Google Search app. I'll try it again if it gets a little more polish.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2012-04-24, version 1.0.0*

Keeps making me sighn in, then when I go to my circle tab it pops up a "find more friends" but no matter what I do it won't go away. Umm old be nice if they fix this!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-04-11, version 1.0.0*

Wouldn't show me my G+ stream, photos, or circles. All I could do was access Gmail. Pointless app at it's current state.

### 1/5 — Google+ gets stuck

*2012-04-04, version 1.0.0*

will not let you post anything, its like the app gets stuck.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2012-03-31, version 1.0.0*

I installed this and it worked fine for 10 min. Now I cant even view google+ in the app. That's the only reason I downloaded the app in the first place...

### 1/5 — Not working

*2012-03-30, version 1.0.0*

Stream is not loading :@ ... Uninstalling

### 1/5 — Broken - deserves no stars and is deleted.

*2012-03-18, version 1.0.0*

Does not go past opening add friends screen, even though I have some, and does not allow you to log out. Has the feel of a rush to market app. Here's a clue - stop using customers for beta products. Not ready for Prime time.

### 5/5 — Good bt keep login out

*2012-06-25, version 1.0.0*

I have to log in every time I open it ....

### 5/5 — G-pad app

*2012-04-15, version 1.0.0*

This is a much needed app, has 3 major apps i use all rolled up into one. Am deleting the other ones thank u.

### 5/5 — Not much better than using safari

*2012-03-09, version 1.0.0*

For some reason the part that actually is supposed to show Google+ content isn't working for me. Gmail works fine but it's essentially using a web page on google's gmail mobile site. Music works fine too. Unfortunately the reason why I downloaded it, G+ access on my iPad, is broken.

Back to Safari then I guess.

### 5/5 — They've done it again.

*2011-12-16, version 1.0.0*

Thanks to the team who knows how to make social networking easy and accessible. Never been happier to have gmail account. Love that there's an app to access my mail! Great work.

### 5/5 — Great App !!

*2011-12-14, version 1.0.0*

Great G+ app

Does what it should do.
Twitter is great too !

### 5/5 — Sweet!

*2011-12-14, version 1.0.0*

I've been waiting for these guys to release a version for Google+. I had the same problem as one of the other reviewers with the app getting stuck in portrait. After force closing the app, it was all good! Accessing my gmail is a bonus!

### 5/5 — Best google plus and gmail app by far

*2011-12-14, version 1.0.0*

I love that gpad includes gmail.  Gplus is a bit more useful now.  The interface is like MyPad so there is 0 learning curve with it.  Great app.

### 4/5 — A very good app, but...

*2011-12-28, version 1.0.0*

...I'm getting tired of having to log in every time I open the app.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2011-12-23, version 1.0.0*

I'm not a huge fan of the interface, but it works, and it's nice having my gmail inbox and calendar right there. If they could fix it so that it looks halfway decent in landscape mode, I would give five stars. Still the best G+ app I've tried, though.

### 4/5 — Ads

*2011-12-14, version 1.0.0*

How do I get rid of the ads at the bottom? Other then that like it so far.
