The Phrase "Together, let's get the most of our readings", by itself is fine, but I think it is wrong in the context it is being used.

The problem I think stems around the use of the word "readings". It's not used commonly in day-to-day english and if frequently used for someone who is going to read something aloud to a group of other people. An example being something read out to people at a funeral or a wedding, such as a section from the bible or a poem.

As this is reading software that will normally be used for a person who is reading to themselves and not out alout to others, it just doesn't feel right.

You could trying something like "Together, let's get the most of our books", as this makes it a bit more understandable. Although this app is aimed at a wider audience than just fiction readers, you might want to find a word other that books that also covers the reference/technical books material as well.

Either that, or try a different phase altogether.

Edit: Just noticed in the phrase that it looks like you are missing a word as well, could do with inserting "out" between "most" and "of". This would read as "Together, let's get the most out of our readings". This then makes my above comments a bit more valid as without the word "out" in the phrase, it doesn't make much sense.
