From eWeek: Google has brought together its former Google Play Magazines app and its Google Currents app to create a new Google Play Newsstand app where Android users can get all the news and stories they want to read in one convenient place.
"Staying up on the news can be a daunting task," wrote Mussie Shore, product manager for Google Play Newsstand, in a Nov. 20 post on the Android Official Blog. "You have to go to a different website or app for each of your favorite magazines, newspapers and blogs. One place to read and discover all of this would be a lot simpler."
That's the motivation for the new Google Play Newsstand app for Android phones and tablets—to bring together a user's favorite news sources in one reader app, wrote Shore.
"Newsstand puts the news you care about most front and center and presents stories that interest you based on your tastes," she wrote. "The more you read the better it will get. You can subscribe to magazines, newspapers, blogs and news sites and we'll format and optimize them all for reading on your tablet or phone. With the swipe of a finger, you can browse full length articles, with beautiful images, audio and video right inside the app."
