What's New in lire

6.3.15

July 7, 2026

Version 6.3.15 FIXED: - A bug that caused the app to become completely invisible & unresponsive (requiring a force-quit & relaunch) after swiping back from the in-app browser. - A bug that caused visible UI stuttering when swiping left or right on an article in the article lists. - Other minor bug fixes. Previously in 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. If you enjoy using lire, please leave a review, or tell a friend about it. That helps a lot!

Sync is frozen

Sync with BazQux is frozen after changing password and email. Canโ€™t logout.

Still frozen after a few years

Response from developer

Apologies for the inconvenience. I'll be happy to help you fix this if you could email me: mail@lireapp.com.

Better Hot Links and Calm Feed Options

App is great and really enjoy how it offers additional features like hot links and calm feeds. However there could be a few improvements like excluding feeds from the calm list and better integration of X.com links in Hot feed. Right now if many articles use the same X post in the article the link to the post wonโ€™t open or it doesnโ€™t show what the post is about.

So many interface bugs

Overlapping text, not remembering which category or feed I was in when reopening the app, slow fetching of new articles.

Waitโ€ฆ What?

Iโ€™ve been using Inoreader for about two years now and generally love it. But the full-version price is insane for what it is and although the free version is generous, I just canโ€™t justify that kind of โ€˜subscriptionโ€™ spend. Recent bugs (especially with YouTube videos) has caused quite a bit of frustration, enough just to tempt me to search the App Store. I took a punt on this RSS reader - actually attracted with it being a purchasable product! So far Iโ€™ve been blown away at how solid this app is. Itโ€™s not put a step wrong. If the developers keep this at a fair price, with this sort of functionality and reliability, Iโ€™m sure this will overtake the big two RSS apps in the App Store. Keep doing what youโ€™re doing please!

Awful AI summaries

Thatโ€™s what you get for relying on Apple โ€œAIโ€. They are notoriously incapable of anythjng AI related. You need to do byok or self host options. Ridiculous, but I guess this does let you check the โ€œnow with AI!โ€ box.
