A lot of times I use the App when powering up, or being on, the computer just isn't feasible and while there are some good things about the app, like being able to + a name and Instant Upload (which never seems to work _instantly_ for me), the annoying things are just too annoying to ignore.
My biggest complaint -- a complaint I've sent feedback on about 25 times and that I've told to in one of his own threads (where he did ask) -- is the app is always resetting the Stream back to the beginning or newest post.
So, for example, if I'm reading along and finally find a post I need to spend some more time on, tap it and open the post up, read/comment and then use the [back] button to return to the stream I'm automatically shot back to the newest post, thus losing my place where I was reading it.
This also happens when:
1- launching the app. That is when initially launch the app I start reading whatever post is showing then the Stream "updates" and I'm shot to the most recent post with no indication of where the post I was reading is anymore. It could be 5 posts down or 45 posts down. So, gods forbid it was interesting or there was a link attached I wanted to read for more information.
2- When opening a Youtube video, watch it and use the [back] button to get back to the G+ app and I'm automatically sent to the most recent post.
3- This also applies to any links in posts. Open the link, read and then go back and I'm sent to the most recent post.
4- If I open a post by tapping on it to make it stationary while I open a link or a YT video or just spend time reading it since it's a longer post, and I hit the [back] button to go back to the stream I'm (again) sent back to the newest post.
This is very very annoying for a number of reasons. i've been through the settings and can't find anything that allows me to halt, pause or mark my place in the stream so I have to conclude that the feature just isn't there.
Also, when adding the location to the post, the app never seems to be able to find the place I'm actually visiting. It can find everything within a 3 mile radius, but it can't find where I'm actually physically located. This applies whether GPS is on or off. However, if I search for the place the app can usually find it just fine. Sometimes it can't and I accept that, but never being able to find where I'm physically located? Really?
The other issues I've had were resolved, so no complaints there.
I would like to know why, if Picasaweb allows up to 15 minutes of video to be loaded, we can't load video to Picasaweb from the app or from mobile at all. Youtube is great and all, but every video doesn't need to upload to YT.
Oh well, I guess I'm FB from mobile and G+ from the desktop.
