Google’s rumored Flipboard competitor is finally here, and it’s ditched the Propeller codename for something just a little more appropriate: Currents. The app is obtainable for both Android and iOS — in tablet and call-friendly formats — and delivers a more magazine like reading experience for perusing your consumable content. The free app will provide you with a swipeable, graphics-heavy option to read material from partners like AllThingsD, PBS, Huffington Post and Fast Company, besides public Google+ feeds and RSS. You may also import your Google Reader subscriptions — and all of it gets cached for offline viewing. Without a doubt , everything is integrated with Google+ too, for speedy and simple sharing. For publishers, Google is providing self-service tools for customizing how their content is displayed within the app. You possibly can go download it now inside the Android Market and within the iTunes App Store free of charge but, before you go, try out the video after the break to peer it in action.
