Noooooooooo. I never tried WhatsApp, but I know the Facebook Developers are really bad at the developing for Android platform. Their Facebook apps are one of the worst apps I ever saw on the Android.
Sorry to ask, but how is this Nexus 5 related?

It's not at all. The only relationship is its about an android app and our phones are powered by Android.

Or Kik or WhatsApp.
These things have been around for ages, and there's LOADS of them. I'm actually getting bored of developers doing the same apps over and over. Why re-invent the wheel when you can make something new instead?

I think that the google+ is not common in Hong Kong
People with Google Apps Domain accounts still don't have Google+ available to them. It's crazy as most of the Google Apps domain users are paying for their service.
TBH, they're not missing out on much. Google+ is so pointless, all the same features as Facebook with none of the activity...

Gotta give Google+ some time its still growing and improving. Hopefully it turns out well. I'm constantly getting emails from Google+ team asking for feedback. I guess cuz I have the nexus s and that's where all Google apps get tested

Well, actually g+ is not open to the public yet, and it already has 20M users...
The key to use it properly is to create circles by relationship AND interests. That way it'll be easier for you to share content only to interested people.
I am pretty happy with it. What I like most of it is that there are no spamming in the timeline, is much like twitter but with a lot more interaction.
There are already threads for it.

Welcome. I forgot to add this link. http://findpeopleonplus.com
It's Google+ user directory with 1.4 million profile indexed.
Not sure if this is a good idea but you guy's can let me know.
1) Given that we have no idea when this phone will release and even if Google announces a date we would still not know exactly what time.
2) And the fact we may have a short window (15 minutes or so) for purchasing the phone before it goes out of stock.
Would you guy's like to join up in groups (say 5 people or so per group) exchange cell #'s through PM's and when the phone launches the first person in a group who notices texts the other members to give them a heads-up?
I would hate after waiting all this time to miss the launch by 15-30 minutes and get stuck waiting weeks for a restock.
I wrote a python application similar to this one of the Nexus 4 release:
pastebin.com/Ep1JSUTy
It will notify me if something seems to be available.
Why not just make a big ole' Google Hangout?

Yes. It was absolutely terrible. Google's servers were incredibly laggy and you had to be very lucky to get one. I managed to snag 2 of them, but one got held up for like a month.

It's kind of a chat, but if you check it then you will definitely know when the Nexus 5 is live cuz I'm sure everyone will post about it. We already have about 25 people in it.

I can just check here too if I wanted to. But checking hangouts will not work if I am sleeping till 11 and the phone is released at 9. At least someone can wake me up via text.

I can't seem to PM for some reason. Maybe I'm too new a user?

This app is always really unresponsive, especially in first use. Trying to scroll a page can cause freezes for a few seconds.
Not seeing this with any other function. Stock Google factory build with Franco kernel running stock settings.
I bought the app for simplicity and speed over having to use a browser but the browser is normally faster?
Ideas?
Its junk and I would never pay for it. I prefer XDA desktop in Dolphin browser!
XDA app is really weak. You can try tapatalk, but it's also slow while scrolling, etc. Just poor coded apps from what I've been told. You can try tweaking your system to improve performance in the app, but it won't be perfect.
aosp browser with xda only, no apps needed nor wanted. always fast this way
I've said a million times the only reason I use Tapatalk is because there aren't any alternatives. XDA app is pretty much the same thing.
I cant complain about app, its works, notification works fast, no problems, sometimes kinda slow loading, but never crash
Good to know. Surprising given the skill of many people on this forum, a simple app like this should be perfect..... They have my money so too late for me! Back to the browser.

Tapatalk isn't made by XDA. The XDA app is also just a branded and licensed Tapatalk client. No apps are "perfect" either, regardless whoever created it.

Not sure if it can be considered as a serious alternative but give a try to Forum Fiend. I didn't test recent updates but the user experience was slightly different compared to Tapatalk.

Its just that there are hardly any good alternatives. Most forums apps you can find will be based on the Tapatalk API anyways, too.

Can't come fast enough. I do have a feature request for XDA One. I want it to data mine all the links I press and send me to an XDA redirect that's down half the time, pr2-xda-devolpers.com. Make that happen, and I'm on board. Oh, and I want little XDA branding on all the screenshots I upload.

O frabjous day, calloo callay! This is pleasant news because I don't think it can be overstated how ghastly and absolutely horrid the Tapatalk user experience and design are.
Looking foward to the new app however; it's obvious the current one is lacking and far behind
That is wonderful news. I have one question not related to the actual development of the app, will it replace the free and premium apps or become a new app? (Reason being is I bought both Tapatalk and XDA Pro)
Try Tapatalk, it just got better.
