## Review summary

Users praise Literal Club’s modern UI and social features, but repeatedly cite broken imports/exports, login problems, instability, missing data, weak support, and slow updates as major drawbacks that hinder reliability.

### Pros

- Modern, clean UI/UX that’s easier to use than Goodreads
- Nicer design and easy-to-use features for tracking books and reading lists
- Social features like book clubs and interactive elements add value
- Aesthetically pleasing app with quote scanning capability

### Cons

- Import/Export tools frequently fail; users cannot reliably import from Goodreads or Storygraph, leading to missing books or incorrect counts
- Signup/login issues including sign-in screen blocking access, waitlists, and broken password resets
- App performance and data reliability problems such as lag, not opening, missing covers/synopses, and duplicate entries
- Poor or no support responses to user reports, with limited communication from developers
- Perceived slow updates and features often not implemented, giving an impression the app is abandoned
