There was an iOS app from practically a decade ago that did something very similar, but you could customize with RSS feeds, and it would turn it into a traditional looking newspaper.

Sadly, I can't remember the name of it but it was pretty great.

I remember this app as well; “Flipreader” comes to mind but yields no Google results.

It was the peak of RSS for me, beautiful UX, customizable, all the posts in sequential order if I wanted instead of algorithms…

I remember it because useless when web publishers realized they were losing ad views to apps like these and all the posts became previews with links.

I believe you are thinking of Flipboard (still around, but a bit different nowadays).

I think you are referring to Flipboard, it is still in the AppStore
