Ratings and reviews

I am in love with this app! It's clean and easy to use! It has a visual bookshelf of all my books, I can customize the background, and it has reading calendar. This is my second book tracking app and I will definitely not be switching to another. Definitely recommend for those who just want a chill, laid back book app with no crazy club flood!

This application demonstrates considerable potential; however, I find that certain features contribute to a higher subscription cost, which I personally do not utilize. For instance, the "capture thought" feature is something I rarely use, and I would prefer the option to simply write notes instead. In my opinion, a monthly subscription fee of four dollars would be a more reasonable price.

Absolutely love this app - has made me fall in love with reading again!! I love all the reading challenges and quotes and brain break games. I've figured out how to switch to percentages now (thank you person replying!!). My new thing I can't find is any way to DNF books - wish this was an option under the "put it on hold" because at the moment, I'm having to delete the book, instead of record which books were failures

What’s new

Pick Up learned a few new tricks. This update brings feature enhancements, smoother shelves, and a little behind-the-scenes polishing. A few bugs were also politely shown the door.
