Customer Reviews
It's just ok...
When I was reading an article, it started to sync, and took me to the newest article automatically before I could finish what I was reading.
Flipboard is far superior
The app works fine, it's just you can't go back. You have to use the "home" key and start over each time, when you want to check out a different news source. Flipboard is much more intuitive.
Google still dont get it
Google is really loosing its quality in development... Google is looking like microsoft for me...
Theres no comparison between currents and flipboard... Flipboard is superior in all aspects.
The first mistake for me is the login page. Google insists in forcing us to login inside its services... Flipboard only suggests the login feature... Google said that want they users free but forces us to be part of it. I dont care about google "online backup" of my feeds. I want to be free to use a simple news system without the need of login.
I will delete it.
