Google+ android app version 2.6 released with brand new look and experience

Few days ago google+ iphone app released with a major UI overhaul and new features. Yesterday they have released version 2.6.0.30400255 of the android app with similar features.
Do we need a voice plan anymore? newly designed Google+ android app let’s you to start ahangout right from your mobile phone and rings people you have invited to the hangout. If they missed the ring they can always join back later (make sure your phone has a front facing camera to start a hangout).
Newly designed navigation ribbon in google+ android app
Gorgeously designed incoming stream of posts that lets to go through posts like viewing a gallery. One problem we found was it is kind of hard to figure out where each post ends i.e the separator. Although it gives a seamless experience of browsing through posts, they should improve the separator  between posts.
The old boring icons of launching features in the application is gone and replaced with a nicenavigation ribbon (refer image above) that allows to quickly navigate to stream, profile, messenger, photos and circles.
New features
  • Start a hangout right from your phone
  • Fine control of instant upload settings
  • Newly designed navigation ribbon
  • It is fast and very responsive
  • Ability to download photos and turn into wallpaper
  • Edit posts inline
  • and many more
Overall this is a great release and heads the android app in a whole new direction designed for better experience. Great job guys!
The new google+ android app is readily available for download on android play store or just update if you have already installed.
