User reviews

Readup is an amazing platform that changed the way I engage with reading online. The "Article of the Day" is often really interesting because the voting system picks out the best free articles from the best magazines/Medium/... . And the community is lovely. Highly recommended!

All these fake reviews are very ironic.

A perfect example of how technology can be utilized to reverse some of the damage it has done. To make us slow down and be more thoughtful and engaging without having to log off and insist only on face to face interactions. Bravo! And thank you!
