Not accessible

Adult literacy, in your pocket
Reading help that fits your real life.
LitUp is a mobile app that helps adults build practical reading skills for work, medical visits and everyday life — privately, at their own pace.
Learning that fits your everyday life.
44%
of Australian adults read at Level 1–2.
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), 2011–12. Australians aged 15–74, literacy Level 1 or 2.
Most literacy support wasn't built for the adults who need it most.
- Work
- Medical
- Everyday life
Not age-appropriate
Nearly every literacy app is built for children. Adults are left with resources that don't fit their lives or their pride.
Not real-world
Phonics-only apps rarely connect back to a form, a payslip or a medical letter — the things people actually need to read.
The app
Calm, clear and built for adults.
One task at a time
Short, 2–5 minute activities based on real forms, signs and messages.
No red crosses, ever
Wrong answers fade gently and you can always try again.
Every word can be heard
Tap any word or instruction to hear it spoken in a warm, clear voice.
