Description
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.
What’s New
Version 6.3.2
Version 6.3.2

Previously in Version 6.3.1
ADDED:

FIXED:

- Other minor bug fixes.
Version 6.3.0
NEW:
- Updated for the new iOS/iPadOS 26 Liquid Glass User Interface, along with new app icons to go with it.
- Summarization of articles using Apple Intelligence on iOS 26 (available on devices that support Apple Intelligence).
-- Summarization is available in the context menu in Article Lists, and as a link at the top of the reading area in the Full Text View, and the Feed Item View. 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. "Full-text" is now "Full Text View", "Original Content" is now "Feed Item View", and "Inline Webpage" is now "Web View".
- New "Get Current Article" shortcut, which should now be available in the Shortcuts app.

Ratings and Reviews
I am in love
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!
Wow!
I am so glad I found this. It is definitely worth the $10. First, to the devs: thanks for not being a subscription. And thanks for respecting privacy.
The review: you can adjust this in seemingly EVERY way. You can have specific feeds open directly in the in-app browser, or in reader mode. So, depending on the behavior of the feed, it will remember what to do. Do you hate it when the app header scrolls away like I do? You can change that. Easily adjust font sizes. Can organize the feeds - not just one l long list. The customization that you can do goes on and on. AND - they respect your privacy.
Excellent!!!
I live in a rural area with weak cell service. When the power goes out we’re totally offline. Automatic Full-text caching is the feature that sold me on this app. Everything works well and is quick and smooth. Nice UI and intuitive controls. I also appreciate the Standalone option, lack of data collection, and no need for a subscription! Finally, having never used an RSS reader before, the developer was super quick to respond to my silly questions and explain things in a clear, concise, and courteous manner. Thank you!
