Litsy

Android Roy the Paranoid Android | Dennis Hackin

So, my Litsy app broke a few days ago and being an Android user, I knew reinstalling it would be problematic. I tried using the workaround link https://baixarapk.gratis/en/app/1037017919/litsy but I can't find any way to tell my phone to install the download. In my phone's security settings it has “Install unknown apps“ but allowing this option for Chrome or the file manager, still doesn't help. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?

Ruthiella Dear @julesG ! Can you help again? I promise this time I will somehow save the answer. 🙃 I have an iPhone, but Julia knows the trick. 1mo

tpixie @gossamerchild do you still have the screenshot of the work from @julesG around for @Billypar 1mo

Billypar @tpixie I was actually trying to follow the directions from @goassamerchild 's post with @julesG 's solution from about a month ago, but the part I keep getting stuck at is how to tell my phone to proceed with the download in spite of the certificate error. 1mo

gossamerchild @Billypar did you start here https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android ? 1mo

gossamerchild This also explains how to make an android phone accept unknown apps: https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-apps-from-unknown-sources-android/hickleb... 1mo

Billypar @gossamerchild @tpixie @Ruthiella Okay - finally got it! Google Play Protect kept blocking me and asking for a PIN to proceed. Then I realized it was the same as the code for my lock screen that I need to have for work. Thanks so much for your help!! 1mo

Ruthiella Yay! 😁 1mo

julesG It seems you worked it out on your own while I was sleeping (and going to appointments). 😉 Always happy to help. And have had to fight with Play Protect before, too. 1mo

julesG Thanks for tagging @Ruthiella @tpixie 1mo

gossamerchild @Billypar Oh, I'm glad you worked it out! 1mo

tpixie @Billypar yippee 🥳 1mo

tpixie @julesG thanks for being willing to help! 🩵 1mo

Litsy Tips

A while back, someone posted instructions on how to side load the Litsy app. I got a new phone, and the app is STILL not available in the Play Store. Does anyone remember how to side load it?

Thanks!

#litsy #app #android

Deblovestoread Look at @ChaoticMissAdventures feed. @julesG left the instructions there 2mo

gossamerchild @Deblovestoread OMG THANK YOU! This time I took a screenshot so I'll have it for next time. I cannot understand how it's STILL not in the play store. I really appreciate it! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @gossamerchild yay!! I know, it is so silly it isn't back up yet! But this hack from @JulesG totally worked for me. It feels a bit scary saying by pass security for a new phone, but it has been 2 weeks and I have had zero troubles. 2mo

gossamerchild @ChaoticMissAdventures I actually did it for my previous phone, so it's been a hot minute. And yeah, I have no real security concerns. 2mo

gossamerchild I should probably also point out the apk suggestion is also on LibraryThing, but I forget to look there. 2mo

julesG Glad it worked! Wish I could leave the instructions somewhere easy to find. 2mo

Nelnjali @julesG Thank you for posting your work around. I was literally asking about this today and found your post. I've been gone for months because I got a new phone, but now I'm back 😁 2mo

julesG @Nelnjali 🥳🥳🥳 glad it worked 2mo

Hello, Android Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform | Ed Burnette

When is the @Litsy app returning to the Google Play store for Android users? I had to factory reset my phone and the #Litsy app is no longer available for download. Tried directly with Play Store and through the various links here and at LibraryThing, no go.

The web app is okay for liking and commenting but it's terrible on mobile for editing pictures.

CampbellTaraL Also leaving that funny text prompt on the image because that's how clunky it is to try to use web version on mobile! 8mo

Librarybelle I‘m an Apple user, but I know other Android users on Litsy found a way to get the app on through means other than the Google Play store…hopefully they‘ll be able to help! 8mo

Ruthiella @julesG Has the answer. I can‘t remember the post anymore, however, where she gave the instructions. 8mo

RamsFan1963 You can find the Litsy app on Amazon's app store also. I had to use that when my phone crash and I lost the app for Litsy. 8mo

julesG Download the APK file and open it. Here's the link: https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android Open the APK file. Your phone might say it's from an unreliable source, but you can tell your phone it isn't. This should install the Litsy App on Android. 8mo

CampbellTaraL Thanks all. I'll do the alternative installation route but this still should be fixed if the plans are to sustain @Litsy long-term. If not, well... 8mo

tpixie @Billypar does this help? 1mo

Billypar @tpixie Both the uptodown link and the Amazon app store got me closer. The trouble is that now Google Play Protect is blocking me, and keeps asking for a PIN that I didn't set up to allow the download or change the setting. I just tried setting up a PIN but it still didn't work. I'm going to keep trying though! 1mo

tpixie @Billypar so glad you worked it out!!! Perseverance prevails! (edited) 1mo

Best Android Apps | Mike Hendrickson, Brian Sawyer

Let me preface by saying this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with the tagged book. It's just that my post is Android and ap related so the title fit. 🙄

And to the point of my post... I so so so so so so so so so so so so soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo miss the Litsy ap! (⬇️)

monkeygirlsmama (⤴️) I had it on my iPad years back and on my Android phone. However, when I upgraded phones I lost my ap and now you can no longer download it. Compared to the ap having to use the website from my phone is uber clunky and not user friendly when it comes to uploading. I have tried the workaround link that someone shared on GoodReads, but it didn't work for me. Any idea if @Litsy is ever gonna get this fixed and back in the AP store?! 🤞 11mo

Deblovestoread @julesG knows how to get Litsy back on your Android phone. Can you help, Jules? 11mo

Suet624 @julesG may be able to help you. 11mo

julesG @Deblovestoread @suet624 - yes, I might be able to help. 11mo

Suet624 @julesG thank you for your help. Hopefully it works for @monkeygirlsmama 11mo

monkeygirlsmama @julesG Thanks! I I will try this after work, but I *think* this is the same workaround that someone on GoodReads told me about, and it wouldn't work for me. It downloaded but I could never get signed in. 11mo

julesG If you can download the app and install it on your phone, but can't log in....🤔 I suppose you've tried all the other possible sources of problems - restarting your phone, restarting your router. Well, I hope it works this time around. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 11mo

Liz_M @bnp see comments above 10mo

monkeygirlsmama @julesG OMG OMG OMG it worked this time!!! 😁😁😁😁😁Thank you so much!!!! I can't not begin to tell you how excited I am to have my Litsy app back. Yay! Thank you a million times over. 💙 10mo

julesG 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations! 10mo

Talk about Litsy

I know I saw this going around a few months ago, but does anyone know why the #Litsy app is no longer available in the #android #play store? I'm also not on Facebook, so I can't see if anything has been said on there, and I can't find anything on the LibraryThing website, either.

Blueberry Hmm. I just checked. It's not in my Google Play store either. 13mo

gossamerchild @Blueberry weird, right? 13mo

julesG I've heard different stories. Not sure which is true. I know what works though. Follow this link https://baixarapk.gratis/en/app/1037017919/litsy Download the APK file. Go to your Downloads folder, click on it. Your phone will tell you it's not a reliable source - it is. If you click "trust this source" (or something similar) your phone will install the app. It's worked for me and a couple of friends. 13mo

I'm having losts of crashes with the Litsy app on Android today. Anyone else?

Traci1 I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it finally didn't crash immediately when I tried to get in. I'm hoping that fixed it, but who knows. 6y

tournevis @Traci1 I just did the same thing, for the second time, and I've not crashed yet. 🤞 6y

ShelleyBooksie Yes - tried to post a book 3 times and it crashes each time. 6y

Has anyone else updated their Goodreads app? Mine no longer shares a book quote while loading. So sad 😔 I loved those quotes.

AllenTStClair I updated and the quote still shows. Are you #android or #iOs? 6y

sammisho Oh no! I just opened mine and it shows! 6y

AllenTStClair @Lmstraubie 🤞🏼Let us know if it‘s just an #android issue. 6y

sammisho I have #android! 6y

GypsyKat I haven‘t! But I hope they fix that! 6y

TiredLibrarian Android user; not seeing quotes on the new app. I wish they'd added more functionality to the app, too. 😕 6y
