Many like to compare Google Play Newsstand to Flipboard, the news and information curation app and service. While Flipboard certainly has its strengths and features that Google Play Newsstand doesn’t offer, the Google alternative does have some great features. Frankly I look at these as complementary apps more than anything because Google’s app, while Flipboardesque in many ways, equally has some features that make it stand out. Most notably, it is your source for magazine reading for your Google Play subscriptions through the Play Store.
The latest update to Google Play Newsstand is available now and it brings a great new feature that allows you to pin a news source from the app directly onto your Home Screen, saving you from having to tap into the app. You love everything you read on AP (Associated Press)? Then pin it to your Home Screen. To get this new feature you need to be running the latest version of Google Play Newsstand, build 3.4.2 on Android phones for those keeping score at home, which is available as now in the Play Store
