Calibre Companion

Been using calibre and the companion for many years now. It’s the best possible solution for maintaining your e-library and an open exchange between the library and all your devices. Plethora of options and plugins to further enhance your experience. Use it!

No issue to connect to and download from the first library, but hangs as soon as you try a book from another one.

I was a user of the first version of this software. Functionalities were basic but it did the job. The big problem was the irregularities of the upgrades / bug fixes. Last year, the development team changed and the new team introduced a subscription model with the promise of regular upgrades / bug fixes. I subscribed... In the next few months upgrades were scarce and bug fixes mainly fixed bugs introduced in the new features. It left a barely usable app. Now it seems that the rats have left the ship : no updates since 7 months… But the subscription model is still active at the same price. And the free option doesn’t comply with the privacy rules of ios 14. So it begins to look like a scam. My advice : avoid this.

CA is a great app to align constantly all you metadata of your books with your online server (Dropbox in my case). When you download your book you can open it in your favorite reader. Nice interface! Keep on doing the great work!

I was a great fan of both Calibre and Calibre Companion. Unfortunately, after upgrading the ios on my iPad air 2, and updating Calibre Companion, I only see the little wheel turning. Restarted 10 times, no way. PLEASE HELP. Calibre Comp. responds to me that I was probably off-line; not at all! I tried once again ON LINE but no results. Problem not resolved. Can anyone help with other solutions ?

This app lets you download stored books from your Calibre library onto your iPad. You can access the library through the content server or through the cloud (OneDrive) if your Calibre library is stored in the cloud.

Add a download all button please for content server, it's on the android version. Otherwise, pretty good

Why am I forced to watch ads even though I paid for the app. Constantly crashes

I was looking for a Calibre Companion app and tried this. Apparently (and unintentionally) I “bought” a 1 year subscription at a cost of $14.99. I had the app for about 5 minutes and cancelled. But I was denied a refund, according to Apple, due to this vendor’s “policy”. I did not like the app, but the refusal to refund my 5 minutes of use, is egregious. In checking them out, I also discovered that their website is for sale. So it’s obvious that they are failing and keeping every penny they gather, honestly or not. Apple should not be dealing with this type of vendor.

Excellent calibre companion. Master it.
