Read all about it, read all about it.
Google Play Magazine is no more. Google Currents is no longer current.
The information gathering behemoth that is Google has replaced both apps with one that has been rumoured for some time. Enter Google Play Newsstand.
The app takes all of your news feeds, newspaper and magazine subscriptions and puts them all into one place. Like other Play apps there is a Read now section, recommendations, My News, My Magazines, Bookmarks and an option to explore.
The new app is the first to allow paid subscriptions alongside regular RSS feeds and general subscriptions. You can search for your favourite sites, add them and sit back as the news automatically rolls in.
The Play Store description is as follows:
