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.
More customizations options
I just purchased Lire after spending years on Reeder. I like Lire and the ease of use it offers. I’d like to see more customization options however, especially for the article list. But great job. Great app.
凄く良い
有料で他アプリ使ったりしていましたが、こちらの方が断然記事の読み込みが良いと思いました。
記事を読んでいる時に未読カウントが無い事だけが残念かな。

Bloody mess
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.

Crash!!!
Return after opening webview
Good features but crashes constantly
I got this to replace Reeder but I’m having issues with constant crashing. Every time I open the app, it crashes. It can’t keep articles in memory and when I switch back from another app it crashes, I change a setting… it crashes. It’s annoying for such a well appointed RSS app. I hope the crashes are fixed so I can 5 star it.

Missing key features
I purchased the app for both iOS and macOS after seeing solid reviews from various sources. I’m using it on an iPhone 15PM, and M4 MacBook Pro - both on their latest respective OS versions.
I was surprised to see a few features that seemed intuitive to me, which aren’t present.
1) Bulk unsubscriptions. The app came pre-subscribed to various feeds, all of which I wanted to unsubscribe from. It took a few minutes to do this, with lots of menu clicking. Given the app is quite slick, I was surprised how clunky and how much clicking I had to do here - I couldn’t even CMD+click on multiple feeds and right click + delete.
2) Similar to above, I had about 12 science publication feeds I wanted to subscribe to from various publishers. There was no way to paste in multiple feed URLs at the same time to add them all at once. On one website I did find that if I clicked their “subscribe” button, it could open in Lire and it had 2 options I could click and then subscribe to 2 feeds - it’s conceivable I could have made a custom .html file, had my 12 feeds correctly put into a subscribe button, and this may have worked.
However, despite the link I mentioned above opening in Lire and then giving me the option to subscribe to 2 feeds, trying to add either of them simple caused the app to hang indefinitely until Force-quit.
3) The app comes pre-configured with a folder/item that offers to filter my complete feed by authors it finds automatically. This is great, though with about 600 authors in my feed it’s a bit too granular for my use. What I can’t work out how to do, is to make my own custom filters. For example, across my 12 (and growing) list of feeds, there are about 300 items per week, if not more. Only a small subset of those, featuring keywords I would like to be able to specify, are actually of interest to me.
Given the author filter seems to exist, it’s surprising to me that the backend of this hasn’t been extended to keyword filters the user can set up. Perhaps it has been, and I just can’t find it?
I contacted the developer in October 2025 regarding the points above, and did not hear anything more.
