Readup: Social reading.

I liked this app when it opened for me. I read quite a few articles but now when I try to open the app it just pulls up a grey screen. I’m giving it two stars because when it works it works as it should but lately it just hasn’t been working.

In the fall of 2020 I officially began a detox of the social media Giants; all except for YouTube which I still use for music, education, etc. I scaled down to basically just one app that has single-handedly been changing my life - encouraging more Focus, expanding Self-Sufficient Learning, Independent Thinking, Creativity and more. The app? ReadUp.com. This month May 2021 begins a whole New Chapter of ReadUp with the latest version of the app. Prior to May 2021 the co-founders of ReadUp and RU’s snowballing community help generate slow growth and evolution of the ethical reading platform over the past 5 years of hard work yet work each one significantly enjoys. Up until now the app has been a game-changer and on the forefront of the app kingdom due to their Most Transparent Privacy Policy in the world, their lack of distracting ads.period.Ever., the civil discourse created inherently by the nature of RU’s algorithm/built-in features, the community the app fosters for Readers, the inherent betterment of autonomy the app fosters and more. Now with the latest launch RU is becoming a forefront game-changer in publishing writers and compensating them, transparently. For a subscription all price (which each Reader/Writer chooses) Readers are able to see through a carefully created color wheel exactly how much of their subscription goes to the writers each Reader Reads. If you are new to ReadUp and reading this with further questions I highly recommend that you, the new ReadUp Reader dive into co-founder bill‘s catalogue of blogs easily accessible within ReadUp archives. By doing so you will be able to get a clearer picture of all the benefits of this Game-Changing app. If you are a reader and love to read...ReadUp is for you and Will Change your Life. If you are a writer you will be able to import your self-publishing and receive compensation for each read your writing receives. So what are you waiting for? Download today. This is just the beginning of an amazing new chapter in ReadUp.com’s journey and there is an Amazing Community within excited to Connect - Interdependently. 🪶✌️💓💯🎰🎯🌈

& I love it. Never before have I been the type to sit and read off of a labtop/smartphone/tablet... Readup has forever changed this. One of my favorite functions is simply the ability to compile and saving reads for a later date. As we all know one of the hardest parts about the internet at its present state, is to slip away into a ‘safe-space’ for ones attention. Readup does exactly that for me, and it has fundamentally changed the way I view reading articles online! Recommend downloading it to everyone!

Heard good things about this app but after getting and using it I was blown away. Tremendous.

A network that isn’t a waste of your time. A place where distractions are gone and content with meaningful discussion exist Worth a download and 15 minutes sample

Found via YC startup school! Love the idea and app

I love knowing that I can take my phone out when on a commute or waiting for someone and actually learn something instead of mindlessly scrolling. Opening this app is self care and it feels good!

So exciting to have such diverse reading material all in one place - advertisement free! What joy! Bravo!
