Litecoin Core is the official full node client of the Litecoin project, with support for Windows, MacOS and Linux. It is open-source, it offers advanced features, and is updated regularly by the development team so as to make it easier to use by anyone as well as more stable and secure.
The functions of the Litecoin Core Client are as expected - storing, sending and receiving Litecoin and transaction history. The latest version supports multiple separate wallets, better fee estimation, and many more improvements from previous releases. The user needs to download the full blockchain on his computer, which will take a long time, but it is more stable and secure.

The Litecoin Core wallet has a good security record. Users store their private keys on their own devices, so they need to make sure those devices are malware-free and maybe move the keys offline. The wallet is also encrypted through a passphrase that should be very complex.
Summary:
What happens in the event of a disaster/theft/loss?
The user has a 'root key', 'recovery phrase' or 'word seed' that can be used to regenerate private keys.
Litecoin Core Client is not the best solution for beginners or for people who don't know their way around the technology since its user interface is hard to follow according to both users and developers. However, one developer has written a detailed analysis of how the Client can be improved in both design and functionality. Its security level makes the wallet a fine choice for long-term savings.
Summary:
The Litecoin Core Client gives users a good level of security and functionality and so it's a good choice for storing and trading Litecoin. However, the community is still awaiting some user experience and functionality updates from the team, including multi-signature technology.
The functions of the Litecoin Core Client are as expected - storing, sending and receiving Litecoin and transaction history. The latest version supports multiple separate wallets, better fee estimation, and many more improvements from previous releases. The user needs to download the full blockchain on his computer, which will take a long time, but it is more stable and secure.
