I pay premium membership. My husband and I have well over 1000 books and this helps when we are out to see what books we need or are missing!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much!! Over 1,000 books is an incredible collection! I love that Pick Up helps you both keep track of what you already have while you’re out. Really appreciate you supporting the app with Premium too! 💚 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-06-01* I introduced this to my partner and she’s a big fan of reading. So she uses it religiously, I just like it for the guessing game to know which book is real or not 🤣🤣 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing Pick Up with your partner! I’m glad she’s enjoying the app and it’s great to hear you’re having fun with the guessing game too :). ### 5/5 — Literally the best app for book lovers!! *2026-05-31* I’ve tried a lot of reading tracker apps, and this is easily one of my favorites. The design is beautiful and cozy, and I love how customizable everything is from the virtual bookshelves to the widgets and reading stats. It makes tracking my reading feel fun instead of like a chore. The progress tracking is simple, the library organization is clean, and features like reading streaks, quotes, and lock screen widgets keep me motivated to pick up a book every day. The app runs smoothly and has a perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics. If you’re a reader who loves seeing your progress, organizing your TBR, and making your reading life feel a little more magical, this app is absolutely worth downloading! 📚✨💜 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. I’m really glad the app is making reading feel more fun and easier to keep up with. The features were all built to make tracking feel a bit more personal, so it means a lot to hear that they’re working well for you. There’s also a lot more exciting stuff planned, so I hope you continue enjoying what’s coming next ✨ ### 4/5 — Great app, needs some tweaks though. *2026-05-09* I love this app, it’s really helped me overcome my reading slump. One drawback is my TBR is very extensive and it’s become impossible to find books on the shelf in this app. There has to be a better way to control how the books are sorted on the shelves, like alphabetically, by author, or by date added. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the lovely review, we’re really glad Pick Up has helped with your reading slump. You can search your Library by title or author by swiping left across the filter pills at the top of the Library until you see the search icon. EDIT: We’ve now added Library sorting too. Swipe left across the filter pills at the top of the Library until you see the sort icon, then tap it to sort by title, author, date added, and more. ### 5/5 — Best reading tracker to ever exist *2026-03-29* This is the best tracker I’ve ever discovered. Would give it a 100 stars if I could **Developer response:** Thank you so much, this made our day. We’re really glad Pick Up has earned a place in your reading life, and we’ll happily accept the imaginary 100 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-24* Love love the app, I’m finally able to track my reading, pause my reading and pick right back where I left off **Developer response:** Thank you, we’re so happy Pick Up is helping you track your reading and jump back in where you left off. That’s exactly the feeling we hoped it would give readers. ### 4/5 — Decent but could have some improvements *2026-03-11* For the app itself it’s pretty simple and easy to use but the thing that I find that could be added is being able to add your current page in the tracker if you already started the book before you added it into the app. Right now you have to start at page 0 and I don’t really like having to start over my book again just to track it. If the developers could please change this that would be very much appreciated. Besides that it seems this app is very simple but still fun to use. 4 out of 5 stars is what I would rate it as of its current state. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful suggestion, I really appreciate it. I’ve added this in the latest update. You can open the book from your library, tap Edit and set your current page. ## Frequently asked questions about Pick Up ### What is Pick Up used for?
