Best RSS reader I’ve tried
lire:rss Reader is a great reader, always updated and now since iOS 27 it fetches full text articles much better than before plus you can enter your login info for sites that are paywalled. It belongs to the apps where I’m using the tip jar because the dev always updates everything for free, so just a BIG THANKS for your work mate :D I think you should do a bit of promotion, at least open an account on Mastodon or something. Your app is first class.

thanks for always considering voiceover users
full support for voiceover and leaves no expectations open. support for other services aside from rss and ai summarization - it's awesome - thank you!
Hands down, the best RSS reader
I moved to lire from inoreader and I’ve not looked back. It doesn’t miss a beat and is probably my most used app on my iphone and iPad. It’s so wonderful that this excellent app remains a single purchase and not on subscription! Please keep it up guys. My only comment would be the name of the app… I don’t mind it, but it’s sometimes difficult to explain to it to other people, they ask me three times to repeat it. Not sure why.

最高！
カスタマイズも細かくできて、なによりUIのデザインが素晴らしい。👍
Buggy
Lire was my go to for the longest time because I genuinely love the layout and the simplicity of the app, but since iOS 26 it has become a buggy mess that constantly crashes. Hoping this one can make a comeback some day.
No custom HTTP headers
I bought this app to connect on a self hosted RSS server. I realized it does not have custom HTTP headers to bypass proxy, so … I cannot use it.
The best RSS client for iPhone/iPad
You see that the developer is an huge RSS fan, Lire is nearly perfect !
Sync is frozen
Sync with BazQux is frozen after changing password and email. Can’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 won’t open or it doesn’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.
Wait… What?
I’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 can’t justify that kind of ‘subscription’ 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 I’ve been blown away at how solid this app is. It’s not put a step wrong. If the developers keep this at a fair price, with this sort of functionality and reliability, I’m sure this will overtake the big two RSS apps in the App Store. Keep doing what you’re doing please!

Awful AI summaries
That’s what you get for relying on Apple “AI”. 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 “now with AI!” box.
TOP App!
Offline lesen, YouTube-Videos abspielen, Sync mit Nextcloud News, seit heute sogar Support für den Read Later-Service Wallabag wie vor einigen Wochen gewünscht - einfach rundum grandios diese App, definitiv in meinen TOP 5 MUST HAVE-Apps unter iOS und iPadOS 👌
One of if not the best
Perfect for my need. Not the best on every aspect, but to me the best all around. I wish we could apply themes, especially something "sepia-ish" and the opposite for bedtime reading.
Looking forward to AI-powered summary
This RSS app is excellent—clean, fast, and genuinely enjoyable to use. The reading experience feels thoughtfully designed.
That said, I’d really love to see support for configuring third-party AI for summaries. Being able to plug in custom models or services would make it far more powerful and flexible for different workflows.

Buggy on iOS 26 still
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max. iOS 26 hasn’t been entirely stable but Lire is the most unstable app by far. It just crashes every other time I open the app (no refresh) or when I refresh and literally wait or open an error notice.
There really needs to be a real manual clear cache button because this is wild to be this unstable this long after iOS 26 dropped.

i love this rss reader - i use it with feedly.
i am a voiceover user and this app works perfectly with voiceover.
it has plenty of options to customize what is read and in what order and for that i am very thankful.
the articles are formatted to remove ads and allow simple reading and that works 99pct of the time.
i would buy this app over and over again
my dad is old and very frustrated with news websites and all the garbage and pop ups and this thankfully has allowed our senior to just focus on the news

Großartig
Wirklich gut! Nutze den reader schon eine weile und muss sagen: fantastisch. Offline artikel, scraping funktioniert hervorragend! Einzige kleine kritik (und ich zahle gern für gute software) ist der zusättliche preis, wenn man die mac version möchte. Ansonsten wirklich tolles produkt! Danke
Edit: Und endlich ein RSS Reader der sich mit Nextcloud News synchronisieren lässt.
Selten fiel es mir so leicht Geld für eine weitere Plattform auszugeben und habe mir die MacOS Version gekauft. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Software :-)

Bugs
Used to be great but became very buggy in the past months. Moving to another app now.
