"it's explicitly regarded as bad UI design by Apple" I find that hard to believe considering that launcher concept is implemented by Apple in the iOS home screen.
See http://cl.ly/0J082m04082N1G3C1C2o For 5 or less tabs it requires two tabs to browse between tabs, vs. 1 tap for a bottom tab bar that is persistent. Also as mentioned in the talk the user has just arrived from a launcher, which is why it's poor design to show another one.
I thought you were referring to the launcher style in general as "bad design," not in the context of an in-app sub-launcher which is why it made no sense to me.

#73Can't believe they went for the same Facebook style launcher, when it's a) used by Facebook b) only got 5 icons c) it's explicitly regarded as bad UI design by Apple (at this WWDC).

#74I'm using 2-factor authentication. Couldn't create an application password. Had to use my main pwd+token which is only good for 30 days. Shouldn't they allow the use of a 2-factor application password for an iOS app?

Worse yet, on my iPhone 3G I can't get the code from the Authenticator app and then log on to the Google+ app before it expires... it's just too slow :/

What are the advantages of using this app? It seems like a lot of overhead for recieving information that can be sent in a text message.
For myself: I've got an iPod. No text messages there (I have Voice, but not everyone does).

#78It 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)

#80Apparently there was some kind of bug in the app store and it started serving up an older test version. If you downloaded within the first hour or two of release, you should re-download. https://plus.google.com/111499908439497508351/posts/dESepcDj...
Google then rushed to release the stable app, didn't know that App Store would still serve the old version until a few hours later.
