PROS: Easily view and create posts from within the app. Notifications keep you informed at all times. Notification audio can be customized. Stealth mode enables checking updates without notifying anyone.
CONS: Paid app for free service. Notification icon is the same as Gmail, which can be confusing. Desktop view is simply the Google+ website in a new tab. No longer useful with Google+ discontinued.

PROS: Quickly view your Instagram account. No need to add the official Instagram app in your menu bar. The tab hides when you watch movies or play games. Not distracting and not in the way.
CONS: Free version is far inferior to the paid version. Just for looking and not for posting. Have to pay for the desktop version. Resizing needs hotkeys or screen-size options.
