User Reviews

Reviews show a split: users praise a cleaner UI, quicker access to account info, and better search, but persistent stability and authentication issues dominate. The app is seen as an improvement over the previous version, with features like a barcode scanner and Flipster integration highlighted. However, many users report crashes, login errors, and blocked access to shelves, reservations, and library-card signups. The overall message is that PLS Connect is getting better but remains unreliable in its current state, with essential borrowing functions still flaky.
Pros
  • Improved/ refreshed UI and clean design
  • Improved reliability and works better than the previous app
  • Enhanced search functionality within the catalog
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and the app won’t stay open or load (crashes after update and on startup)
  • Login/authentication errors and timeouts (error codes on login and authentication timeout preventing sign-in)
  • Key features sometimes fail or are blocked (bookshelf loading issues, inability to reserve items, library-card signup errors)

The app doesn’t open half the time! I have books on my bookshelf & can’t access it because the app won’t open!
