TTS could be better

Maybe there is a way to make TTS work with BYOK as well to allow
better quality? Would be great. The app is basically checking every box. BYOK is a smart move for AI features.

Turn FreshRSS into a powerful newsroom!

An RSS client that offers AI summarization and translation for FreshRSS-compatible feeds and daily news by category.

It also includes a feature that lets you read full articles directly from the feed. Therefore, if you're short on time for reading news, it's much more convenient than combining FreshRSS with Kagi Summarizer or using an RSS aggregator with built-in AI translation.

When paired with Mistral's free plan, the iOS app is undoubtedly worth more than its monthly subscription fee!

However, it doesn't support feed title translation, so when integrating it with FreshRSS, be sure to use it alongside a title translation extension.

Love the easy AI

Five suggestions. 1. Freeze the AI summary so it stays on top while scrolling the article. 2. Minimize the top and bottom bars while scrolling the article to maximize display. 3. Store AI output in iCloud to sync across devices. For example I summarize an article on iPad and revisit it on iPhone. My AI summary is shown on iPhone instantly since it synced from the iPad/icloud. 4. implement an “ask AI follow-up” for questions about the summary/article. 5. Long press article card for more options including AI summary, share, read later etc.

Response from developer

So glad to hear your feedback. I really like to experience Apple Intelligence, but it isn’t available in my country so far. Once it goes live, I’ll try to integrate it into the app. Best, Vinson

Modern RSS Reader

Excellent implantation of AI and integration with services like FreshRSS. What rss should be in 2026

功能都挺不错,特别是BYOK,无需再订阅会员什么的

但是,老实说,UI太简陋,一股子粗糙的android味道。。。。
