Recently Google launched a new app for Android called the Google Play Newsstand. It’s a consolidation of Google Currents and Play Magazines with a Cards based UI. Newsstand manages subscriptions of newspapers and magazines directly from Google Play. Unlike standalone apps by newspaper publishers and free content subscription apps like Flipboard and Google Currents, Newsstand offers paid subscriptions for high profile publications too. 
The features that make Google Play Newsstand the best newsreader app yet are
- Read Now – Breaking news, trending articles and even subscription recommendations.
- Bookmarks – Offline access for reading articles later similar to Pocket or Instapaper.
- It automatically imports Google Currents and Google Play Magazines subscriptions.
- Automatic tagging each article like “Android” or “Xbox One”. Reading related articles is just one tap on the tag away.
- Full HD support and simple UI
The Offline mode solves the problem Currents had with high data and battery usage. Newsstand widely uses Google’s machine learning in tagging articles and finding newer and more enjoyable subscriptions for you to read.
