Customer Reviews

Love it (5 stars)
One of the iPad apps I use everyday

AMAZING (5 stars)
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.

Great apps but use too much power (3 stars)
For some reason, my phone battery goes very fast whenever I install this app. Great apps and really like the presentation, but I have to removed it for battery drain issue.
