Currents, Google's Mobile App I'm Happy With

I never understood what is the big deal with RSS feeds until one day I experienced Epiphany, crammed everything in Google reader and never looked back. But RSS readers are so last decade now; new breed of tools can make nice electronic magazines out of feeds and even allow you to produce one by yourself. Not long after release of Ice Cream Sandwich, Google released its own magazine application, Currents. Last time I grumbled about mobile Google+; this time, I decided to review application that I am really happy with.

Developers couldn't be bothered to develop to newcomer Android and its cheap users. Although platform grew in both size and depth of the user's pockets, some of the best apps still remained objects of desire, with Flipboard and Instapaper being most notable examples. They are here now.
