Description
Legi is a powerful RSS Feed Reader with speech output, "smart playlists", fulltext reader mode, offline mode etc. for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and the Apple Watch.
A RSS Feed reader lets you read blog articles, magazines and news sites much easier and much more comfortable than with a normal web browser. The App lets you subscribe and organize your news feeds, which will be updated fully automatically, so you always have the latest news available within the App. All articles will presented for a comfortable reading experience, but of course the original web view is also available.
Legi is special among RSS readers, because it has a speech output feature. This means the App can read all articles aloud when you can not read these yourself, for example when driving a car, while doing sports and for many other activities where you can't look on your device. The App has a full-featured audio player for the speech output (Play/Pause, skip back/forward, a timeline etc.) which works similar to the one of a music player App. Of course, all remote controls for music (the one from the control center, headphones, or Apple Watch) will work for Legi as well, so Legi can be in the background as well.
The full text of all articles will be presented in a comfortable reading mode, for which you can configure colors, fonts, text size etc. to match your own preferences.
An offline mode makes it possible to read all articles even if no internet connection is available. In addition the App lets you configure when and under which conditions the data is loaded, so you can load most or all of the data using WiFi and less or no data in mobile networks to avoid traffic.
You can also create "smart playlists" to categorize and organize articles independently of the feeds.
Several 3rd-party services to manage your feeds are supported as well:
- FeedWrangler
- Feed HQ, FeedBlur
- FeedBin
- BazQux
- InoReader
- The Old Reader
Also feeds can be saved as favorites, you can export or import your feeds via OPML, you can share articles using the ShareSheet and much more.
The Watch App lets you read or listen to (via speech output) articles on your Apple Watch as well. This is great for all the occasions where you do not have your iPhone with you, for example for all kinds of sports activities

Ratings and Reviews
Meh
Had to uninstall/reinstall to be functional after last update
Great Basic RSS reader that does what it needs to do well
I recently got back into reading RSS feeds for work and went looking for a RSS reader that was a little more simple to use then the RSS reader I was using. I have one of the developer's other apps (iCab Mobile) which I really like and decided to give Legi a try and have been very pleased with it and now use it as my main RSS reader. What I really like about the app is its clean, easy to read and use interface. RSS feeds are listed on the left and an expanded view of the feed selected is shown on the right half of the screen. To read some of the full linked articles on the web, I only need to toggle a bottom on the top of the right hand screen. No multiple windows or multiple tabs which distract me. The developer has also made it easy to search for and add feeds and further customize how the RSS feed handles its feeds (e.g. when to delete feeds) and comes with a text to speech reader as a bonus.
Would recommend this RSS reader for someone that wants an easy to use and well-performing RSS reader.
Doesn’t open on iOS 12.5.7
On my iPad it crashes before it can open.
Removed and reinstalled. Same thing.
Removed, rebooted, reinstalled, still crashes while opening.
:-(
Even still, I highly recommend Alexander’s apps!
