Organize your PDFs, set custom covers, and choose from several theme colors and icons, for a pleasant reading experience just the way you want it.
• Create folders and folder groups to keep your PDFs organized however you prefer. Rename and rearrange things as the mood takes you. Name every single book and folder the same thing, if you really want to! (I don’t recommend doing that, but nonetheless, that’s the sort of awesome power that you wield if you use BookFolder.)
• Set custom cover images for every book (or stick with a book’s default cover, of course). Your library will look the way that you want it to! (And the underlying files remain pristine, so if you begin to regret choosing a photo of your cat for every book in your collection, you can always restore the originals and no one will know. Except your cat, who is judging you now.)
• Get wild on an iPad with split-screen multitasking support. Read two books at once (or the same book twice)! If that’s something that you want to do.
• Swap between five theme colors, for an interface that works best for you. (Dark Mode support, too, of course!)
• Choose from a dozen icons, from solid colors to subdued platinum to a retro rainbow look, to fit your mood and to ensure a harmonious home screen layout with your other apps. (I’m not the only one who arranges my icons by color and design… am I?)
• You can use it to actually read the PDFs, too, of course. Mustn’t forget that part.
• Plus bookmarks, searching, and table-of-contents support, as one would expect.
• Also, it’s free, no in-app purchases, no tracking… just a nice PDF reader and library manager. I hope that you’ll enjoy it!

BookFolder FAQ
Is BookFolder free?
Yes, BookFolder is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is BookFolder legit?
✅ The BookFolder app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I have spent hours searching the App Store , looking for a visual file/folder type of organizer for my way-too-many book collection. Just a general, all around storage-preferably that works with PDF format. Quite by accident, while looking for something else, I found this hidden jewel. I love it.
If you love books, have a lot of them, and prefer them in PDF format-and want a solid, simple, no glitches way to organize and store your books ( I have just over 200 in this app) then download this app! It does not have 40 functions, and there is a little how-to handbook; but you don’t need it. What it does do, is create folders to organize and store books or documents. A small list on the left “ nests” title separators and their folders, and on the right displays large folders, and nested inside are large books with the actual book cover as the icon. Or the first page of a document. You can change the cover, if you wish. There are no hidden prices for anything, it’s an actual free app! Never glitched on me, and has never crashed. This app should be an essential, if you have lots of pdf with no home
Good, but has room for improvement
This app is mostly good, but there's one irritating bug where the zoom level resets whenever the page is turned. This won't bother you much if you're reading fiction, but if you're using it for anything you have to reference (I use it for Tabletop RPGs), the default zoom level gets the top and bottom of the document blocked off by the overlay, at least on an iPad Mini. I'll bump this up a star instantly once this bug is fixed.
Also, this app doesn't support vertical pages like Apple Books does for PDFs, and doesn't support multiple books open at once. I don't care much about the former, but the latter would be very useful for me and I'll bump my review up to five stars if multiple tabs are ever added. (Assuming the zoom bug is fixed too, of course.)
Egad! Only lacking one thing I really wanted!
Hey developers! Add highlighting (and perhaps store a copy of the highlighted materials in a separate file) and I would gladly pay for this app! In every other way it is wonderfully simple and elegant! Thank you!
Book mark doesn’t even work.
The book mark doesn’t work!!
Tried them all
This is the best for sure. All the others want you to pay for a subscription. It works great!
IT CONVERTS PDFs INTO BOOK FORMATS!!!
Do you know how long it took for me to find a app that gives a bookmark to PDFs! This app is so simple to use and I really appreciate it. Also being able to make our own book covers to our favorite stories is something I did not expect to fall in love with and it’s become my favorite thing. REMEMBER- search any book title and add doctype:pdf to the end of it and you just got yourself a free book. Just loaded up on Stephen King.
Best PDF Reader/Library in the App Store
I’ve looked and looked for a great solution for my RPG collection, and finally I’ve found it. As another put it, this is a criminally underrated program. I had to dig and dig on the App Store to find it and if you dear reader have arrived here from the same search, stop and download. I love that I can choose the cover if the pdf isn’t built to display the cover properly (looking at you Paizo). I love that this a lightweight program that stays out of the way, until I want to double tap to maximize a column view - and boom, it works. It’s so useful, I feel guilty getting it for free.
Criminally Underrated!
So this is the first app that made me break down and write a review! I got this to have an easy way to read art books while drawing, and I didn’t need anything with a lot of bells and whistles — just wanted something simple, something that let me see the PDF’s as needed. The first big boon to the program is that it allows easy folder generation and sorting, with the typical hold and drag method. I can sort things by art book, tutorials, other, and it’s wonderful. PDF’s are turned from right-to-left, not up-and-down, and that makes the process so much nicer.
Ultimately, that’s all there is to it. It doesn’t make PDF, so there’s not all that bloat if that’s not something you need. You won’t find a better reader, and it’s absolutely free and has zero ads. How can it get better? I’m not sure it can.
Flawless simple PDF reader
Love the app. Perfect if you’re looking for a pdf reader where each page can go full screen without a million in app purchases or unnecessary extra features. The app is easy to navigate and works brilliantly. Thank you for this!!
Best I have come across
Practically perfect in every way. I have my very own book scanner and I digitize all of my old books that I can. This program is perfect for reading my very own customized e-books.
