Calibre Companion

Invaluable for managing a large book collection on mobile devices. Helpful and responsive developer

Best app for books ever

Love how easy it is to transfer my epub books from laptop to phone and tablet.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do!

Easiest way with multiple devices!!

Awesome app

Brilliant app

This is simply beautiful. You wanna read? This whole Calibre ecosystem is fantastic. These guys are the pros at putting anything You wanna read on any device You want. If You really understand read files and what these guys have cobbled together, You'll find it effective. Highest praise I can give.

I've been using this app for years, and I can't imagine using a calibre library without it. The only real missing pieces are proper hierarchical groupings, and a little bit more on-device metadata editing (rating is one obvious example).

Works with no problem. Couldn't be easier to traansfer books.

Works great.

This is one of the few apps that I consider "must have".

Great app for my tablet

I have been using this almost as long as it has been available, and I love it! I use both calibre and MoonReader practically daily. This app let's me keep track of which books I have already read. The syncing is nearly flawless, the only trouble I ever have is when my Calibre server changes its IP address for some reason. I just go in and manually set it. I recently reset my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.1, and the app has run smoothly and has been fast and responsive. Definitely deserves the 5 stars!

Beats fiddling about with USB cables hands down. Easily worth the price of a beer! Edit: really only useful for transferring books to your device. As an on-device librarian, it's pretty poor, hasn't really been updated since Gingerbread: eg, it still doesn't remember where you were in the list of books after you finish one and rather than showing you the book you've just read, it scrolls back to the beginning of the list of books on your device. No group by date added either. Find myself using it less and less these days. Edit: Thanks Dev, "Group By Data Added" is indeed available.

This has worked flawlessly for me. Using Calibre to manage my library is great, but being able to centrally monitor, select and sync a different list of books with different devices is even better. Combined with moon reader syncing reading positions via the cloud makes for a seamless reading experience. Early worth twice the price.

Holy Cow, this is EXACTLY the app I've been looking for! So many ways to connect and sync to Calibre - nice job!

Excellent adjunct to calibre! I use Aldiko which is great, but I wish there was an Android version of Calibre.

Great for organising and syncing your library. Works seamlessly with the desktop app.

Essential partner for your pc or Mac-based e-book library.

Great bridge between windows and android calibre

Very useful and easy to acces

Excellent

I wish one could buy this across platforms. I have an iPad and an Android device. I bought it for my android but realized later that it is more useful for me on my iPad, but I don't want to pay twice for the same app. But I understand that developing for different platforms is different and that each platform has its own fees and things associated with it. I think this is just a general discontent I have with paid apps. This app was fairly easy to connect to my comp with WiFi and it transfered my books super quickly. I found a reader that accommodates multiple formats so that's good, but if we're paying for this app I do wish it had a reader in-built even if it means the size of the app increases. Anyhow, I still need to see whether or not it really does all I want it to. But so far it's a good app.

I have used this since it first came out. I love it. But, why can't people understand it's a add on app for your calibre program. Not a separate program. Its not confusing. I have 4 devices, a laptop, an iPad, and 2 android tablets. It organizes my library of 17,000 books and after changing some settings it works great with Aldiko. What more can I ask for for $4.99. Thank you so much for writing this software. I don't think I could even begin to organize my ebooks without it.

Great for transferring books from Calibre on my laptop to my tablet. It keeps up with metadata so I can transfer "date read" back tho the laptop. Not for reading books; a separate app is needed for that, but this is indispensable if you manage ebooks with Calibre

Probably use this app more than any other. It is absolutely the best way to connect to the Calibre server on your PC or whatever. Took me ages before I realized that by using wireless device on the Calibre server, I could add and delete multiple books on my tablet really easily and quickly. Recommended.

It's a really great way to manage your libraries on an android device. There has been nothing I've needed to do that the developers haven't already thought of. I have over 14000 books in calibre and now I can have them on my phone too. A truly spectacular app

Useless. After 94 minutes of waiting for it to update the list of books on my device, I decided enough was enough.

Doesn't give option to connect to OneDrive, where my Calibre library from computer is stored. But it says in description OneDrive works. Lies. It's not even an option.

Manage without this - its the perfect calibre companion

I've downrated it because a bug made me start over. I've used it for years. Recently, I made the Nook app my default reader. Calibre got stuck there and when I launched Calibre, it wouldn't leave Nook and have me zero access to the Calibre settings. I cleared the cache. No dice. I cleared the database, no dice. I had to uninstall and reinstall. Very annoying.

Keeps saying databases corrupted. No response from the developers.

I am just getting to know the program. Love to be able to share books between devices do seamlessly!

Nice app, but it lacks a lot of the usefulness of calibre on Linux, Windows and apple.

Essential app for me. Have a large ebook library and this helps keep it synced between my pc and android.

I will give 5 stars if you will add the ability to continue from last book when I close the app.

Let's me keep track of all my books

Simple the best!

Only a few things I'd like to have an option for... I would like to see the format of the book when browsing, being able to choose the sd card for backup and book download (unless it knows intuitively?) and not have everything group in alphabetic folders... Just a list view, I guess, for quicker scanning!
