User reviews

Fun, easy to keep up with, interesting

I really enjoy this app, I think it is a great social media space for readers. It's fun posting about books or posting book reviews and seeing what other users post in a platform specifically designated for social media. It's easy to navigate compared to other book-specific apps, and the community that has formed there is wonderful to engage with. Users are always hosting challenges, posting interesting reviews or insights, and engaging with each other in a way that feels meaningful. I do wish I could post more than a single photo at a time.

It WAS great…

I used to love Litsy, but the app now has so many bugs that I can’t use it. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years, so that’s not shocking!

Won’t open half the time

I used to love this app but now I never know from one day to the next if I can even get on it. Half the time I get a message “unable to check environment”, whatever that means. And clicking “app support” here just takes you to Librarything. I thought maybe I’d missed an update but apparently the last one was five years ago so I guess the creators have just abandoned it.

Recent issues

Recently I was logged out and cannot log back in due to I always used Facebook as my log in and it gives an error.. so after being a user from the beginning of the app I have to start anew.. frustrated. I love litsy but looks like they need to do some app maintence

Almost perfect!

I love this app. I mean it! I have made friends, exchanged books, joined reading groups, sent snd received presents. Love it! The people are ALL bookish and kind. My ONLY complaint is not being able to zoom in on a photo so we can see details. That’s really it. Please fix this one flaw. 💗😁
