Calibre Companion (CC), recommended by calibre developers, is three applications in one:
- a superb device-based calibre library organiser
- a high-performance WiFi-based calibre device emulator
- a calibre content server and cloud provider client (Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive)
1) CC is a device-based calibre library organiser. Once you put books on your device using one of the connection methods described below you can:
- view a book's metadata (author, tags, series, rating, dates, etc.).
- sort and group books by their metadata.
- see book lists by cover or by list.
- mark books read and sync this information with calibre.
- launch your book reader application to read a book
2) CC can connect to calibre over WiFi and be detected by calibre as a device. Once connected, you use calibre to move books to and from your device. Calibre automatically updates all the book metadata stored by CC to match the latest in your library.
3) CC can connect to calibre’s content server or to your cloud provider to browse your library and download books to your device. Supports Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive.

No updates for couple of years
The app now has an annual fee (was a once off fee), with the promise of enhancement/improvement, bug fixing.
I pay my annual fee, however no updates for the last 3 years, no point in paying the annual fee. Product showed some promise of be developed further but has just stagnated.
You Beauty!
Wow! At last I have easy access from my Calibre Library on my laptop to my iPad. Relatively easy to use for one who has limited IT skills. Thanks.
Waste of time
Doesn’t work. Don’t bother downloading.
Great
Fantastic app
Not functioning on iPhone
This app will connect to your Calibre library, and download the book. But it will not open them on the iPhone.
Not happy Jan
Reinstalled this app a month ago after not using it for a good few year, since installing the charges have changed upwards nearly every week, can’t believe how greedy you are!
avoid, subscription fees and ads
I paid for this app and now the developer has added both ads and subscription fees to the existing app, not allowing me to use the original app without fees, and with no reimbursement for my existing purchase.
Thanks to this being a “virtual good” I have zero recourse but to delete the app and warn everybody to avoid it.
One drive support did not work
Couldn’t find metadata.db despite it being in the cloud drive root.
No offline access
The app won’t even open while offline. That makes it virtually useless for me.
Also, I’ve already paid for the app. I’m not going to pay a sucscription.
