Google Play Newsstand(formerlyGoogle Currents), the search giant’s official Flipboard-inspired software for the iPhone and iPad, received a small update Monday bringing native display support for theiPhone 6andiPhone 6 Plus.
In addition, the new version features an improved download progress interface for offline content and contains unspecified bug fixes. Google Play Newsstand is available as afree download from the App Store.
TechCrunch reports that the search giant will also update the official Google Play Music client for iOS and Android later today with Songza-style functionality.
As you know,Google purchased Songzaearlier this year. Like Apple-owned Beats, the service specializes in finding the right music to fit your mood.
Google redesigned Currents for iOS 7 appearance a month ago, also changing its name to Newsstand. The software allows you to read your favorite blogs and news articles in the clean form, stripped of their bells and whistles on the web such as advertising and navigation.
Currents used to be a mess on iOS, but Newsstand is quite a different beast. I encourage you to give it a whirl if you’re on the constant lookout for a quality reading experience on your iPhone and iPad.
