Customer Reviews
Love it
One of the iPad apps I use everyday
AMAZING
I hate trying to read my favorite news sites on my iPhone and Google Currents finally gives me a decent way of looking at the things I want to read. Well laid-out and fast, too. The trending news feature is also nice -- not tied down to any one publication. This fills a big void in how news and magazines can be read on the iPhone and iPad.
Worst than last version
You can't tell if it's updating or doing nothing.
