Review summary

BibBot is very helpful and versatile, working across desktop and Android and enabling access to many articles, including paywalled content via library memberships. However, repeatedly reported issues include plaintext passwords, distorted article layouts, limited availability due to library/source restrictions, and lack of Android Firefox support. Some users also note occasional bugs and slow maintenance. Overall, it provides valuable convenience but with security and reliability caveats.

Pros

Very helpful and generally reliable across a broad set of articles.
Works on desktop and Android and integrates with library memberships.
Enables access to paywalled content via library subscriptions, saving money.
Nice concept with a convenient and useful implementation.
Broad article compatibility makes it a convenient reading tool.

Cons

Passwords stored in plaintext; security concerns.
Article formatting/layout is distorted or lost.
Not all articles are accessible due to library or source limitations; newer items may be unavailable.
Android Firefox compatibility is missing; Android version is Chrome-only.
Occasional functional problems and slow issue maintenance on GitHub.
