They ruined this app

This was once an excellent app, but the greedy jerks who make it have added the World’s Most Annoying ads, holding you hostage for fixed amounts of time before you can view details about your books while they force-feed you horrible, tedious, annoying ads.
I will be looking for a replacement for this app ASAP.

Good app - needs some tweaks?

Authentication using OneDrive with MFA causes the app to reset each time you click away to use authenticator app. So it is clunky getting in using other 2fa methods.

Also, .m4b files need to be added to the supported formats list.

Doesn’t work

Tried to use to download books from my local Calibre server. UI sucks and downloading books failed.

It’s working

I don’t know if there was a recent update, but it is working well now. Glad I kept it installed. The interface is a little clunky but I found my way around. I appreciate the free version and may upgrade to get compatibility with Google Drive.

FAQ

What does Calibre Companion do?

Calibre Companion (CC) acts as a device-based ebook library organizer, a high-performance WiFi-based Calibre device emulator, and a client for Calibre's content server or cloud storage providers like Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive. It allows you to manage your books, view metadata, and sync reading status.

How does this app connect to my Calibre library?

CC can connect to your Calibre library over WiFi, where Calibre detects it as a device, allowing you to move books to and from your device. It also supports connecting to Calibre's content server or cloud providers to browse and download books.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. This suggests that some features or advanced functionalities might require a purchase to unlock.

What devices is Calibre Companion compatible with?

The description does not explicitly state compatibility with specific operating systems (e.g., Android, iOS) or device models. However, it is designed to work with devices that can run reader applications and connect to WiFi.

Can I read books directly within Calibre Companion?

No, Calibre Companion is not a reader app. You will need to install and use a separate ebook reader application on your device to read the books managed by CC.
