I seriously hate the G+ mobile app.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

My biggest complaint -- a complaint I've sent feedback on about 25 times and that I've told to Punit Soni 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.
I'll check again just to make sure nothing new has come out in the past 30 hours, or so.
So, thank you for that.
However, the app seems to be force-closing all the time now.
(Using any browser but Google's, naturally, since all of Google's online services were designed to blow up Chrome, apparently.)
1 - when I've been using it for a while and have reached the "loading more" at the bottom of the Stream a couple of times. I don't know if I'm just filling some sort of temporary cache, but it seems to FC when this occurs.
2 - I open the app and hit the Notifications icon. Go through my notifications one-by-one and usually somewhere in back and forth of it all the app force closes. I can recall at least once when I was commenting on one of my notifications, went back to the notifications list, opened the next one and the app force closed.
Thank you again for following up with these sorts of issues, Punit Soni and team! It means a lot to us that you're being proactive and interactive with users.
