Litsy

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.

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

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. 💗😁

I’ve been on Litsy for about 3 years now, and I have to say it’s my favorite book space/social media. Everyone talks about books, bookish things, and sometimes other things going on in their lives that makes you feel more connected with a person than on other sites. Everyone is very friendly and it’s fun to have a debate on a book, passage, or discussion. Some even post buddy reading days, readathon weekends/holidays, and book club reads! Overall it’s my favorite safe place.

No idea what use it could possibly be since there appears no way to add the books I’ve finished reading, am reading, or want to read.

I couldn’t log into the account because it says Forbidden. Is this how you treat your users?

Too much off topic conversation. 👎🏼👎🏼

I have had Litsy for a year now and when I initially started using it, I loved it. Everyone was using it for the way it was intended. Posting their recent reads, quotes from books, and adding reviews. Within the last few months, the community has taken a turn and now just treat it like Instagram. I have to hunt for review posts. I love the quick review posts this app offers as it’s a quick and straight to the point and has helped me decide if I want to pick a book up or not. But with so many in the community using it has a hangout platform to host games and challenges and no way to actually weed these particular posts out, I no longer see review posts anymore. I have been utilizing the heck out of the block/mute feature but it gets tiresome having to update it all the time. It would be wonderful if there was a way to view posts based on what type: quote, blurb or review, since those are the three types the platform lets you post under. I have met some amazingly nice people on there and I like to use it for how it was intended. I just wish there was an easier way to navigate it to find what I want, since it’s community has grown. It’s just heavily overrun with game posts and monthly photo challenges. I just want quick reviews and blurbs about books, and conversations about books.

The community of Litsy is simply amazing. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. I never feel judged for gushing about whatever book I just read that I’m writing on there about. There’s always fun swaps and reading challenges going on. Absolutely love this app.

I have an iPhone 8 that is fully updated and the app no longer works. I used to love this app but now have to go to the website which is clunky and a pain. I wish they would fix it!
