User reviews

LJ Account Juggler is valued for simplifying the process of switching between multiple IJ accounts, allowing users to avoid repeated manual logins. It is considered essential by daily users for its ease of use. However, several users report persistent issues such as the extension no longer working, especially with Dreamwidth, and updates that erase stored account data. Performance lags and lack of organizational features like account grouping and indication of active account are common complaints. While loved when functional, many users hope for better maintenance and feature enhancements.

Pros

Makes switching accounts on IJ (International Juggernauts/LJ) much easier and faster.
Works well when functioning, providing seamless account switching without manual login.
Indispensable and used daily by many users for managing multiple IJ accounts.
Simple and straightforward interface for selecting accounts.
Helps manage multiple accounts effortlessly with just a click and page refresh.

Cons

Extension has stopped working for many users, especially with Dreamwidth, causing login failures.
Updates sometimes wipe out stored data like usernames and passwords, causing significant frustration.
Slow performance when opening the extension dropdown, sometimes requiring multiple clicks.
Lack of organization features such as account grouping, headings, or customizable sorting beyond alphabetical order.
No visible indication of the currently logged-in account; could benefit from showing signed-in account on screen.

Recent reviews

I love this, it makes switching account on IJ much easier. HOWEVER, it could be better. It needs a way to add a way to put in 'headings' and then can add each account to whichever account it goes to in order to organize and easily find which account you need.

Seems to be working again, which is awesome.

Was amazing for years, but has stopped working. The page reloads but the app hasn't logged me into the selected account. Real shame.
