    Users on Google Play have praised a recent update to Currents that changed the app's user interface. A hidden left tray, revealed by swiping to the right from the far left, shows several content categories such as business, news, lifestyle, etc. Each of these include subscriptions from major publications, including ABC News, Huffington Post, Popular Science, Saveur Magazine, Forbes, Fast Company, and others by default.
Select a publication, and you can scroll up and down through the stories. You can also select a category, and swipe left and right through  the various publications for more of an overview. Each category ends with a "breaking news" section, culled from Google News.
Most stories are visually appealing on Currents, with lots of space, pictures, and comfortably sized text. While browsing, categories are demarcated with a large, beautiful picture, while stories carry a headline, an image, and a blurb. Individual stories are paginated with a large image on the top, and you swipe or tap the left side of the screen to move through the story.
Be careful not to swipe too hard in a story, or you'll jump into the next in the publication. This quirk can be irritating, but Currents remembers your spot in each story so you can simply jump back into the one you left. On the plus side, it lets you quickly escape a dull article and jump into another.
