Legi (RSS Feed Reader)
Legi is a powerful RSS Feed Reader that offers various features like speech output, smart playlists, full-text reader mode, and an offline mode for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and the Apple Watch. With Legi, users can easily read blog articles, magazines, and news sites in a more comfortable and convenient way compared to using a normal web browser. The app allows users to subscribe to and organize their news feeds, which will be automatically updated to provide the latest news within the app. The articles are presented in a comfortable reading experience, but users can also view the original web view if desired.
Unique to Legi is its speech output feature, which enables the app to read articles aloud, making it suitable for situations where users are unable to read, such as while driving or engaging in sports activities. The app includes a full-featured audio player for the speech output, with controls similar to those of a music player app. Legi also works seamlessly with remote controls for music, such as those in the control center, headphones, or Apple Watch, allowing users to use the app in the background.
Legi offers a comfortable reading mode that allows users to customize colors, fonts, and text size according to their preferences. It also includes an offline mode, enabling users to read articles even without an internet connection. Users can configure when and under what conditions the data is loaded, optimizing data usage by loading most or all of the data using Wi-Fi and less or no data in mobile networks.
The app provides the option to create "smart playlists" for categorizing and organizing articles independently of the feeds. Legi also supports several third-party services for managing feeds and allows users to save feeds as favorites. Feeds can be exported or imported via OPML, and articles can be easily shared using the ShareSheet.
For Apple Watch users, the Legi Watch App allows reading or listening to articles via speech output directly on the Apple Watch. This feature is particularly useful when users don't have their iPhone with them, such as during various sports activities.
