Google today rebranded and relaunched its Google Currents app for iPhones and iPads.
The new name of the magazine and news service is called Google Play Newsstand – a named markedly similar to Apple’s own Newsstand app. Along with the new name, Google redesigned the app. It features new navigation tools to help users find articles more quickly; a ‘read now’ tool for jumping to fresh articles amongst the user’s subscriptions; and an expanded library that stores all the user’s articles in one spot.
Google Play Newsstand is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
