The link is not working for me, and it doesn't show up in the app market search. Released and pulled? False alarm?

Update: I'm reading that it's only available on the iPhone currently. Alas, my iPod Touch and iPad are not the iPhone. If this is the case, then that's too bad.

It's working for me. Maybe it's your region? iTunes is region-specific.

Interesting. I'm running iOS5 beta3, and when I attempt to hit the Stream, the app dies. Does this happen for anyone else? EDIT: Also when I click on someones profile in the 'cirlces' list.

I can't really give any impressions on the app without these things working, but viewing photos and photo comments feels nice and responsive.

Very interesting to see how much an improvement this is to the mobile site, which is a chore to use on the iPhone. Also here's hoping for a decent iPad app, since the mobile Google+ site looks ridiculous on the iPad and the desktop version is buggy.

It only works on iPhones with GPS, that's probably why it does not work for you.

(That's what it says when I try to install it on my Wifi iPad and it did not show up in the App Store on the iPad either)

I think the App Store is a bit slow at updating. Early on apps also seem to show up only in some places and not in others.

I can get to the app from the link (and I’m in Germany), I can’t actually get it to show up through search, that’s probably another one of those early issues. It’s gonna get better eventually.

Really, Apple can’t reject the Google+ app without causing a huge shitstorm. It would be stupid to do so. Also: The app doesn’t actually violate any rules Apple has laid out, not in any way, shape or form – Apple most certainly doesn’t want to confuse developers with arbitrary rejections, at least not anymore.

It's not showing up for me in the app store yet :( Must be rolling out slowly or regionally.

I can't find the iPad app in the App Store.

Quicker than the mobile site and supports photo uploading (annoying attribute of Mobile Safari). I like it.
