Mountain View has released a fresh Google+ for tablets app, which has been optimized specifically for large screen devices. Basically, the Android utility boasts of attributes that have been designed to exploit the major features offered with such gadgets.
First off, the interface shows off a ‘beautiful stream’ that organizes content with respect to type, layout and popularity. The well known Hangouts attribute now features a new ‘lean back format’ to make it conveniently accessible while relaxing on a couch. The texts and images displayed on the application are touted to be clear and full, for making the experience engaging.
“Back in May we introduced new versions of Google+ for Android and iOS phones. In both cases we went native (with gestural navigation, fullscreen media and face-to-face video), and it’s had a powerful impact on community engagement. In fact, more people now use Google+ from a mobile device than a desktop computer, and today’s tablet release will quicken this trend,” states a post on the official Google blog.
Moreover, performing a +1 action or commenting on a specific post should be as simple as tapping on it. Considering that it is a tablet version we’re talking about, the interface flaunts a magazine-like layout for comfortable usability. Needless to say, all other functions like Nearby stream, Party Mode and others seen in the mobile counterpart are visible in this tablet version too.
The Google+ for tablets app is now being introduced for Android v3.0 and higher devices. The iPad upgrade is coming soon.
