Love RSS feeds? So do we!! RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website. However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry, you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. We find that really annoying, and we're sure you do too. Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds, does its magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links. Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds. Use as a standalone feed reader, sync with iCloud, or, sync with any of the several services: Feedly, Feedbin, FeedHQ, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, Newsblur, Feed Wrangler, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Nextcloud News, Tiny Tiny RSS.}

Wonderful app to read the rss-feeds. Very handy filters to parse articles. And fantastic support - if one of the parsers does not work optimally, you can write the maintainer and it is fixed within a few days.

This is one of the best RSS readers in iOS. Small improvement for me would be a one tap button to switch between “Full text view” and “Feed item view” only in the current feed while keeping the main view mode intact. Currently if you switch to a new view mode it will persist for the following feeds too. I like to open feeds in “Feed item view” and if i need to get to more content by only one tap I could get the full content just for that feed.

Thank you for fixing error 153. I'm still a huge fan of this app. Great work. Keep it up.

Title says it all. Lire does what many rss readers try to do (get full article contents) but can’t. It’s not an easy problem to solve, and it probably is a constant moving target for a dev, but this dev pulls it off. Can’t believe what good value this is, I’ve used it for at least a year now. Also with the opening of apples Foundation models it can do article summaries, and you can customize the prompt. Very handy for saving time. Overall one of the more stable apps as well, very rarely have any issues.

This is a wonderful app, works great and allows you to go through your news items quickly and easily. The developer is active and responsive.

This is the best RSS app I’ve ever used. However, I’d like an option so that when the feed is refreshed, the feed list doesn’t automatically scroll back to the top but stays at the position of the article I was reading. After updating, I want to continue reading articles in chronological order starting from the one I was just reading, instead of jumping to the newest post.

Excellent rss reader. Easily my favourite and have tried many! I’d love iCloud sync of settings and preferences. One other feature that would be amazing is using the onboard Apple foundational ai to cluster similar articles in a folder. A lot of tech outlets repeat the same news so would be nice to see them grouped/clustered together.

I tried many RSS readers for iOS and this and News Explorer are the only ones I have kept with. Both have their strengths. Lire's is simplicity, great UI and amazing full-text view that works really, really well in most cases. It will pull full articles when syncing and let you read everything fully offline, which is something other apps don't do or atleast, don't do it well.

Decent app overall, but there are a couple of issues that prevent me from recommending it. I have >100 feeds and get constant iCloud sync errors. Even when I don’t get the yellow error banner I still notice articles on my iPad that I read earlier in the day on my iPhone. Also, the background sync has never worked for me as far as I can tell. I have to wait for the sync to complete every time I launch the app, and I often need to manually activate the sync. Lastly, the iPad layout has a really narrow left column instead of taking advantage of the large screen. I’d love to see a full screen article viewer with large thumbnail images.

Version 6.3.3 FIXED: - YouTube Error 153: YouTube videos should now work more reliably. - A bug that caused inconsistent scrolling behaviour when using Spacebar (Keyboard Shortcut) to scroll on iOS/iPadOS 26. - Other minor bug fixes.

It is also available in the share sheet. -- You can even edit the summarization prompt (that the app send to Apple Intelligence) using the second button in the top right in the Summary View. (NOTE: Editing its only available when the app has a generated summary, not while a summary is being generated) --- The default prompt is "Summarize this article", you can change it to something like "Summarize this article in bullet points" or "Summarize this article in two sentences" or "Give a non-clickbait title to this article". - New "View Mode" button in the top bar to switch between different view modes from within the article reading view. When using it, the app remembers (and syncs if using iCloud sync mode) the last used view mode on a per feed basis, so you do not have to keep switching. -- Updated the names of article reading modes.

That helps a lot!
