Description
Where books make friends.
The only thing that matches the joy of reading a great book is sharing that joy with friends. That’s why we created Litsy.
Litsy is the place to share and discover your favorite books with your favorite people. As readers, our favorite books are recommended by people we respect, not algorithms.
The Litsy community is a groundswell of passionate readers, authors and influencers creating short posts about their "reading moments." These posts are made of blurbs, photos, quotes and reviews, and each post is linked to one book.
Since enjoying a book has no end, Litsy is 100% mobile and allows you to capture whatever bookish thoughts you have, whenever you have them. Litsy also makes it easy to “go down the rabbit hole," browsing your feed while on the go. When you find your next book, it’s easy to add it to your stack for future reading.
Talking about books is a feel-good activity. It shares a piece of yourself, and it helps others. To recognize this, we thought it would be fun to invent the world’s first “Litfluence” scoring system. Litfluence is our way of showing that what you say about the books you read matters.
It’s fun. It’s simple. It’s rewarding. It’s spoiler-free and free to use. And it’s all about the book.
Sign up and get a little Litsy.
We recommend iOS 9 or newer for the best experience.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of push notifications, it was the epoch of new sticker packs, it was the season of being able to edit a comment, it was the spring of accessibility options for voiceover and text sizing, it was the winter of a cool feature to swipe left on posts to get book details, we had everything before us with this new iOS release, including an ability to discover and follow users from hashtag and book profile pages - in short, the period was, in the superlative degree, bookishly awesome.

It was many and many an update a go,
In an app store by the sea,
That we promised cleaner looks,
Faster loading, new tools, a better ability to see;
And the Litsy team lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by thee.
So we quickened the speed and made
Sticky headers — better scrolling for you and me.
And we’ve changed the looks of Reviews, less green,
More handsome, we hope you’ll agree;
Copy a comment, refresh your page,
We’ve squashed more bugs and set them free.
For the moon never beams without bringing us dreams
Of the future of beloved Litsy,
And the stars never rise but we feel the bright eyes
Of our book-crazed community.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is that you can now find me with a hashtag search, and read a whole summary about me, and stack me up in your stacks, and if that’s not enough you can suggest other books you might like more than me to the new Litsy Librarians, and find all those David Copperfield kind of books, but I don’t feel like going into it too much; you’ll have to download the update if you want to know the truth. In the first place, Litsy has these photos which will now save to perfect squares, and in the second place, the little square pictures can now be saved to your “camera roll,” but I won’t sneak around with what’s in there. That’s pretty personal. I can just tell you about this madman stuff that happened pretty recently with a storage issue, but now Litsy is taking it easy and there’s no more of that extra bulk. Oh, I just read this terrific book called Fahrenheit 451, in case you never heard of it. I liked it so much that I told Litsy all about it and they decided to change their character limit to 451 for their post. 300 character posts? Don’t even mention those to me anymore. But what really knocks me out is all the good stuff coming – push notifications, explore tools, a new rating system that lets you tell what’s phony and what’s not – every time Litsy does something pretty I can’t help but fall even more in love with it. It’s really something. I love it so much I could cry, I could stack all the books in the whole world, I could read into the next century or something. I don’t exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it.

There is a place where books make friends
And there the updates begin,
And there the photos are high-res and bright,
And there your thumbs can double tap to like,
And there the @mentions will now take flight
And a new search by ISBN.
Let us leave this place where the loading is slow
Your live stream of books will coast.
For now there is a new version for iPads to go,
where users can share out and edit their posts.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the Litfluencers go,
For the users, they read, and the App Store, they know
The place where books make friends.

And as in an iPhone thought he stood,
The iJabberwock, with bugs of shame,
Came whiffling under Litsy's hood,
And caused crashes as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
Our vorpal developers gave the code quite a thwack!
They left the bugs dead, and with a click and a clack,
They submitted this release and went galumphing back.
(In other words, plenty of bug fixes.)

Alice was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire-Cat sitting on a
bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw her. "Cheshire-Puss," began Alice, rather timidly, "would you please tell me what's new with Litsy?"
"In that direction," waving the right paw 'round the iPhone, "are better stacking, a new currently reading status and improved comments, and in that direction," waving the other paw on the screen, "are faster image loading, better book search, and a number of mad performance improvements."
"That's very curious!" said Alice. "I think I may as well go on Litsy at once."

ONCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,--
I found a quote, started clapping, pulled out my phone and started tapping,
As if Litsy was my way of clapping, clapping about books I adore.
“But what’s new,” I muttered, “in this release, for all these books that I adore?”
- @mentions to tag people in comments
- Easier search
- Better profile views
- A ton of usability enhancements
- More image editing options
Only this, and nothing more.

From Instagram to Litsy
I am a bookstagrammer and I've seen so many other bookstagrammers go to Litsy and I think it's really interesting and I really want to try it. I love that it really is combining goodreads and instagram. I love the concept of it.
Some things that I don't like are the layout of it is a little confusing and that may just be because I haven't used it and I'm new to it but it was a little overwhelming. I do like the point system it's pretty cool but I don't know what exactly it's for.
Things that I would like to see added or changed. (These things may be on here. Again I'm new and not completely sure how they work) A better introduction of how the app works maybe going through how to make posts and what all of the things mean. I would also love to add more shelves rather than just the three: have read, to read, want to read. And also the rating system. I would love to see others on a scale of how much they enjoyed it, because there's a wide range of if you liked it pick it up or if you loved it and you need to pick it up. I'm not sure if that completely made sense but I think a different scoring system would be better.
I honestly can't wait to get more used to this app and it has so much potential! I can't wait to see what you guys do with it. Please don't use the algorithm though because that's the main reason bookstagrammers moved to this platform!!

BrainTrustThinkTank,
Like it a lot so far...
I’ve just started using Litsy, but I like it a lot so far. It’s visually appealing and pretty intuitive to use, so I was able to use it without any tutorial. I’ve enjoyed it and interacting with the Litsy community. I’ve been able to make a recommendation for a newly released book and also have appreciated the multiple views about new books I was considering purchasing. It’s so nice to have more input than just the book jacket!
There really do need to be varied levels of recommendation, however. This is the reason I cannot give Litsy 5 stars. For instance, if you really love thrillers, you may be unwilling to say a thriller is “so-so” even though the plot is a bit derivative and none of the characters are very well developed. If it’s a great page-turner by your favorite author, you’ll still recommend it, but it certainly won’t please a classical literary fiction enthusiast. So, there should be at least one all-out blockbuster recommendation and also a “recommended with reservations” option.
Otherwise, it seems like the friendly Litsy community has found ways to welcome newcomers and overcome the awkwardness of a new App by just being themselves.

Shows Potential
I have recently downloaded this app, and am enjoying it quite a bit, but there are some things I have seen done better elsewhere. One is statistics. It tracks books and pages read, etc, but there are different versions of books, so the page count is going to be different. I always look up titles by ISBN number. The search only brings up one version. Page counts can be off by hundreds of pages. I think I'll use this for the ease of tracking my reading, take a photo of the ISBN, and get my page count elsewhere.
Conpenn,
Pleasantly surprised!!
I heard about Litsy via a Facebook group and I got the app a couple of days ago, only to discover that it’s really entertaining, informative, and fun. Others have said it’s kinda like combining Instagram and Goodreads and that seems like a solid assessment, from what I’ve seen. It’s easy to sign up and use. I kinda like the “influence” statistics that you receive based on others’ interactions from what you opt to post. I believe this is how that aspect of the app operates. It’s not something that’s imperative for readers to know, but some might view the “touches” received by a post to be interesting. Thus far, I feel very comfortable recommending the app and the opportunities it provides. I understand that the developers are working on enhancements so I’m eager to see what those will be. I can go for months without checking Goodreads, but I find myself foregoing doing other things that I’m supposed to do so as to check Litsy!!! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️👍🏻😄
Jessica1234Marie1234,
Litsy is the BEST app for book lovers!
I’ve been on Litsy for about nine months, and is is by far the best app out there for avid readers! Unlike some other social networking sites, this community is extremely friendly, and the entire focus of this app is books; what’s not to love about that? I only have a few recommended changes: (1) a tad more characters for allowed posts (451 is just a little too short for reviews - 600 would be better!); (2) More stickers and more colored options for the stickers please?( (3) sortable TBR and read lists - it would be great if they could be alphabetized; (4) the ability to tile posts instead of scroll; and (5) a separate list for books you own but haven’t read (bc so many times Littens want to surprise you with a book from your TBR - but you actually already own it!
Bottom line - if you love to read, talk about books, and get recommendations from other book lovers, you need this app!

MilkyWayorBust,
Great concept
I love the idea of having an app just for readers, one that combines photo sharing like Instagram with the book reviews and quotes like Goodreads.
The point system is okay. I think it may be fun for lots of people, though I don't see the purpose in it myself. My favorite is the quote feature, as I love to share my favorite quotes from books, and now I can do so as I'm reading.
The rating system is interesting. I am not a fan of star ratings, so I like that it is different on Litsy. It makes you think about whether you would recommend it, whether it was just okay, you didn't like it, or didn't even finish it. To me, this is much more efficient.
I like that it is focused on the reading experience, and on sharing the love of reading with others.
I like that before you make your most, you must select the book you are posting about first. This in theory would help to make sure users are keeping it about the books.
Unfortunately there are all too many users who will select any book only to make a personal post that has nothing to do with the book (often it is photos of pets and even food). This is not a flaw of the app, it rather an unfortunate behavior of people misusing the app.
If more people would just keep it about the books instead of using it as another Instagram, I think Litsy can be a great experience for book lovers everywhere.

Sweetkokoro,
Not like it used to be
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.

Beloved Bookworm
I first noticed this app in the App Store when I was looking for related apps similar to Goodreads. After installing this app I was immediately hooked. I love how it can keep track of books you want to read, books you have read and you're able to choose a quote(s) from the books you're reading orleave a review on the book ( giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down rating and writing your thoughts on the book what you liked and what could have been improved on). I enjoy the social media aspect of it where you can comment on people's posts and like them as well as adding their want to read books to your own list definitely a MUST for Bookworms/ avid readers solid five stars!!!!

Great Site for Book Lovers!
I have been on Litsy for almost a year now and absolutely love it! It is a community of book lovers—but what a community! Welcoming, friendly, generous: these are just a few words that describe the Littens. There are always things going on—photo challenges, giveaways, buddy reads, swaps. All enable you to meet and mingle with other book lovers. Its book cataloguing capabilities could use some work, but Litsy is primarily a social platform. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly site that celebrates books and book lovers with none of the critical, easily-offended tensions that plague other groups—you’ve found it!
CayMacW,
Perfect for Booklovers
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.
