Google Newsstand Icon
Well its official, Google Currents, which was a beautiful looking newsreader App, which allowed users to keep up to date with their favourite leading publications, from breaking news headlines to blogs all in one neat package has finally bitten the dust in a recent update.

The update which is available through the Play Store now, users are prompted to click through to Newsstand when trying to access their library but before you fret over what will happen with all your subscriptions because Google has covered that for you, as all current subscriptions are ported over automatically to Newsstand.

When you are prompted to move over to the Newsstand app, you will find that Google Currents will be disabled and its icon disappears from the Apps menu. For iOS users however if you are an iOS user, Google hasn’t yet released a Newsstand app for that platform as yet, so Currents will live on- For now.

For regular Currents NewsStand users, you do of course have Ausdroid in your feed….don’t you?

So do you think Google has made the right move to close Currents and replace it with Newsstand?
