Customer Reviews
Love Lisgo! Music?
Hello, I absolutely love the Lisgo app. When I stumbled on it not too long ago it immediately became my favorite app because I am constantly on the go and it helps me keep up with my pocket repository of articles I am trying to keep up with. Thank you so much for creating the app!
I am very interested in having the ability to listen to music while listening to the Lisgo app. Is this a possibility at all? For instance, when I do text-to-voice on iOS it conveniently lowers the volume of any music I have playing in the background until the content is finished speaking and then raises the volume of the music again. It seems like that might be a core iOS app dev. functionality that could be triggered somehow?
Again, thank you, SO MUCH, for this amazing app. It is my absolute favorite.
Still most used app on my phone!
I found this app shortly after it became available two years ago and have used it daily since -- more than any other app on my iPhone. It's simple and straightforward. I've tried a lot of other similar apps but only Lisgo does what I want it to.
Here's how I use it; maybe it'll help others:
I've set up Newsify in article list. I long press titles that are of interest and they are automatically sent to Pocket.
After refreshing content and starting the audio, I keep Lisgo in article list too, and swipe right to delete articles when I'm done with them.
If I want to save any articles for future reference I don't swipe them. At the end of the day, I open Pocket and send those remaining articles to Pinboard, tagging them on their way, and then deleting them.
I use Pushpin to access my Pinboard archives.
I seem to have lost the dark mode availability in Lisgo on my new iPhone 6... I hope that feature will be returned. Thanks.
The missing app that should be mandatory!
I have been looking for a way to read articles out loud using the built in iphone speech tool. But it was awkward because you have to try to highlight the whole article to read it. I already was using Pocket to save articles for reading later, so this app basically turns my reading list into a PLAYlist! And the voice sounds great. There is also a speed control right on the main screen, not buried in a menu like some other app's options.
