Google Currents app updated with international support, offline reading

[![Google Currents app updated with international support, offline reading][1] ][2]

Folks in the US have been able to use the Google Currents app to read various websites (including [this one][3]) with more of a magazine-style layout since [late last year][4], and now those outside the country can finally get in on the act as well. Google has today rolled out version 1.1 of the app for Android and iOS, which makes the service available worldwide with support for 44 languages, and adds a number of other improvements including offline reading, instant online sync, translation for 38 languages and a promised 7X performance boost. As before, the app is completely free, and adapts the layout to suit both phones and tablets.
