  • Breaking stories - Google Currents uses technology to deliver the hottest breaking stories in categories such as world, entertainment, sports, science, and more. As you travel to different countries, additional breaking stories are added to match your location.

  • Saved stories - Run across an in-depth article that you want to read later, or a special recipe you want to keep? Star any story to be saved for later, in your personal Saved stories edition.

  • Your favorite blogs and feeds - Instantly, turn your Google Reader icon Google Reader subscriptions, or any of your favorite blogs/feeds into a beautiful edition with a magazine feel.

  • Translate - Currents uses Google Translate icon Google Translate technology to translate editions into a preferred language of your choice. 44 languages are supported.

Each edition is available for high speed offline reading, and provides quick-touch sharing. Google Currents self-adapts to differently sized phones and tablets, with subscriptions synchronized across devices. Google Currents - a reading experience not to be missed.
