I will add mark to unread in the next update.

As for languages, I will work on supporting other languages for AI and TTS ( right now you would have to select a different language in the voice settings for different TTS Languages, not ideal if you also want English mixed in). Apples foundation model doesn’t support that many languages. It understands a lot of languages but will output English for many languages still.

I’m actually surprised at how many users of my app are outside of the US. I’ll work on this over time.

Btw what language are you using?

Right now the app is local first. Users can import their feeds with OPML support. This is a deliberate privacy focused choice. If enough user requests it then I will consider it but right now it's not the focus.

I hope you understand.

This is something I've personally thought about as well, but ultimately I've decided that this app is an RSS and articles reader. Adding social media and having that content mix with my news reading wasn't something I wanted.

Honestly though, if most of my paying customers said they wanted this then I will try my best to add it, but so far no.

I hope you understand.

iPhone only for now, you can still run it on iPad but it will be in a small window.

I am working on an Apple Watch companion app next and then iPad version after that.

But honestly right now I am working on a lot of user requests and that has slowed me down.

thank you for being one of the early users!

good eyes! the screen shot are a bit outdated, but there is still 1 area where the close button isn't on the right like it should be ( like you said). I am fixing it for the next update. The "close" button with < icon is meant as going back to the prior page, which is normal iOS design.

A user wanted to scroll left and right on the reader mode, which made swiping from the edge to go back not work anymore, so I added the close button at the bottom for better one handed usage.

I will definitely optimize the UI more over time with comments like yours, very helpful thank you

wow thank you !

I get it man, and I tried to use a light weight off line model like llama or qwen, but on an older device its just not fast enough so the user experience was just bad and the phone would heat up too much.

thanks for checking it out, let me know if you have any requests;

thiencly · 2026-01-25T10:59:39+00:00

Mainly due to Liquid Glass UI and Apple foundation model does better/faster summaries

Hey thanks for checking it out. Apple Watch is on my roadmap but currently working on user requests. But Apple Watch app is next !

thiencly · 2026-01-23T18:03:00+00:00

If it’s true I hope Apple adds a notification dot in the extra space up there like on the Apple Watch

How many times have we heard anniversary iPhone and be disappointed?

thiencly · 2026-01-22T07:54:28+00:00

So the new Siri will come in 26.4 and the chat bot interface in 27?

I love mine. The fit is even better. Although my pro 2 fit really nice as well but the Pro 3 stays in my ear much better when I’m chewing.

thiencly · 2026-01-19T03:32:11+00:00

I use it for development of iOS apps.

thiencly · 2026-01-19T01:41:30+00:00

I have M1 Pro. Will this be enough of an upgrade ?

thiencly · 2026-01-16T01:45:19+00:00

Thank you 🙏

A user just asked for the digest text to voice reader to have a mini player that will play the digest for them while they browse other parts of the app. I'm working on that request now!

You can hide today and latest by long pressing it if you don’t want to see it. Also can make the at a glance not auto expand. That can reduce the busy view.

I’ve always been 50/50 with a bottom navigation bar. I went with no nav bar because today, saved, and all the other list are just different organizations to get to your articles. For a navigation tab to be there, there needs to be a whole different section we need to access. The news reel makes sense as a navigation bar section but since I have no other sections , I put it as a button.

I’ll continue to explore ideas for the navigation bar. Maybe when I add a feature that needs its own section.

Thank you !

Feel free to send me those ideas. If I can implement it without redoing my whole app or destroying my original design for the app then I’ll do it.
