Google has released an update for the Google+ Android app, adding bug fixes and an improved notification system.
Version 1.0.5 of the app includes 12 different updates that improve the app’s usability. The biggest change to the app is an improvement to the reliability to notifications. One welcome addition is that notifications about users adding you to their Google+ circles are now shown in bulk (notifications were unbearable in the previous version.) It also makes +mentioned usernames clickable, navigating the user to that person’s profilep age.

In addition to revamped notifications, Google has also made it so the stream doesn’t reset to the top of the screen when the phone is rotated and has rolled out a series of improvements to Google+ Huddles, including the ability to hide one-on-one huddles, adding clickable links and improving autocomplete. You can check out the release notes to learn more.
On a completely unrelated note, I am really enjoying the personalized YouTube videos the Google+ team has been releasing for Google+ product updates. They’re informative and explain technological updates in an intimate and social manner. It’s a nice touch for a company accused (justifiably) of not getting social.
