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.
more I’ve been using Reeder on all of my Apple devices, so it’s been a real bummer to not be able to read all of the news on my self-hosted FreshRSS host after I got my shiny new Apple Vision Pro. I gave it a few weeks and there’s still no Reeder option here, so I did a search for “freshrss” to see if any apps claimed support.This is *not* a native app, but unlike Reeder, it *is* compatible as an iPad app.Going for 4 stars now because most of what I need out of a reader is here. Deduction of 1 until there’s a native app for the platform.

I found this app after scouring Reddit for an RSS reader with proper support for Miniflux. Buried in one thread was a mention of lire. I was a bit reluctant to try it with no trial on iOS and a macOS demo that didn’t support Miniflux; but I thought why not, it’s 10 bucks, recently updated, and looks nice.I’m incredibly happy that I did. It is performant. I love the full text caching. The integration with Miniflux is solid and was easy to set up. It feels like an iOS app should. Say what you will about Liquid Glass, I enjoy the design of lire quite a bit more than the myriad of other readers I have tried.I’m surprised to not see more buzz about this reader. In a world full of apps with subscriptions, it is very important to me to support developers that provide perpetual licenses. As a developer myself, I understand why many have switched to subscription models. That just makes it more important to vote with our wallets ;)One thing I’d love to see in the future would be tighter integration with feeds that provide multiple URLs. For instance, hacker news feeds provide an article url and a comment url. On the Miniflux web UI I can click the comment URL via a link on the article row. I’d love to have something similar in lire as a convenience, not a show stopper since I can just go to the feed view to click the URL.Thanks for this great app!

This app was my favorite RSS reader supporting iCloud sync for quite a long time. Sometime in the past month or two, it has turned into a bloody mess. It almost always crashes on launch and then will launch on the next attempt. Navigating to feeds frequently results in a different feed showing. Or the right feed showing under the wrong feed’s heading. Sometimes articles simply won’t open but change from unread to read. Sometimes it overlays multiple section headers overtop of themselves making them appear as a jumble of overlaid text. Just insane behavior! Happening on multiple devices even after reinstalls. I thought it was a bug that would get fixed quickly but it has been at least 45 days since these issues started. Looking for a new client now.

Why have I only just learned about this app?! Having spent only a short while in the app, adding feeds and generally ‘kicking the tires’, oh my goodness what a fantastic app this is. Already used the tip jar. I run my own self hosted RSS aggregator and my goal was always to find a workable full-text rss system. Something that truly provides the articles in full form. I got about 70% close to that goal. But now I’m already thinking that’s going to get torn down in favor of using this app instead. Very well done to the devs. I can only imagine how hard you’ve worked to make something able to pull the full articles. Kudos!

Version 6.0.0
ADDED:
- Newsletter Mode (re-written from ground up): Some sync services (like Feedbin), and some 3rd Party services (like kill-the-newsletter.com) allow you to read Newsletters in your RSS reader. In Newsletter mode, articles are rendered as is, without applying lire's internal styling, this is especially useful for reading newsletters (most of which include their styling inline).
Feeds that are known to be Newsletters are automatically set to open their articles in Newsletter mode. You can also set specific feed to open their articles in Newsletter Mode in Settings > Article > Open in.
Newsletter Mode has been tested to work with :-

- Open articles in Inline Webpage: Some sites prevent scraping of their content by lire's full-text parser because of various reasons, while some other sites put their content behind paywalls, or login-walls. Inline Webpage provides a more reasonable way to read the content of these websites than was previously possible with In-app browser/Safari-View-Controller, or the Safari app, or some 3rd party web browser. You can set specific feed to open their articles in Inline Webpage in Settings > Article > Open in.
- Open articles in Default Browser: Open articles directly in Safari (or any other app that you set as your system default browser). You can set specific feed to open their articles in Default Browser in Settings > Article > Open in.
- Full-text Search (Experimental): Allows the in-app search engine to look in every article's body and full-text (if cached). Set it up in Settings > General > Search > Full-text Search.
- Ability to disable Spotlight indexing/search. Set it up in Settings > General > Search > Spotlight.
- "3 Days" option in all app-wide "Mark older as read" menus.
- iPadOS 17 Lock Screen widgets.
- iOS 17 iPhone StandBy mode widgets.
IMPROVED:
- Hot Links now open in the new Inline Webpage view.
- Support for rendering of embedded 'X' (formally Twitter) & Instagram content.
- The way the app reports & displays errors related to Inoreader's Rate Limits.
FIXED:
- A bug that caused an intermittent crash while opening some articles.
- Tons of minor (and major) bug fixes.

- New "Get Current Article" shortcut, which should now be available in the Shortcuts app.
