- 📦Lettura updated to version 2.1.1Lettura 2.1 introduces major improvements to full-text article extraction, powered by a customized Readability, along with several UI refinements, smoother animations, and bug fixes.
Full-Text Extraction:
• Significantly faster article loading: On-device full-text extraction using Readability now often takes less than 1 second, compared to the previous 3–4 seconds.

UI & Animations:
• Immersive reading: The back button now automatically hides when scrolling through articles or the article list, for a full-screen reading.
• Dock animations: Added subtle animations when opening folders and swiping back from an article to the articles list.
• Article change animations: Added transitions when switching between articles using the next/previous arrows in the reader or selecting articles from the list.
• Article list transitions: Improved animations when switching between articles in layouts with a visible article list, including iPad, macOS, and iPhone Duo.
• Synchronized article navigation: The article list now automatically follows the current article when navigating with the next/previous arrows in the reader.
• Improved favicons: Lettura now uses favicons provided by your FreshRSS server, including any custom favicons you've configured.
• New article animations: Newly fetched articles now appear with a smooth animation during feed refreshes.
• Feed deletion: Added a disappearing animation when removing a feed from the list.
• Pull to refresh: Refined the refresh indicator and its animations for a smoother experience.
• Empty state guidance: Added a pull-to-refresh suggestion when the article list is empty after resetting the sync database.
• Folder transitions: Improved animations when opening and closing folders.
Bug Fixes:
• macOS: Fixed an issue that prevented typing in text fields within the Settings panel.
• iPhone Duo: When switching between the inner and outer screens while reading, Lettura now preserves the currently open article and automatically adapts the article layout and reader dock to the active screen.… more - 📈Lettura new best rank in the overall chart: #131Top Paid · All Apps · FR
