For an initial release, I'm impressed with the official Formspring for Android app. In fact, it made me sign up for Formspring!

CONS
- Option to log out is difficult to reach. You have to go to Profile > Settings > Log Out
- I had difficulty connecting Formspring to Twitter. I had to log in with my laptop to connect it to Twitter.
- Tabs are on the top part of the screen. If you have a large screen phone and small hands, it'll be difficult to reach them.
FINAL VERDICT:
For an initial release, the official Formspring for Android app is near perfection. But I would like to see an easier way to log out. Also, I think it would be better for everyone if the tabs appear on the bottom part of the screen for easier access with large-screen phones.
