Like the majority of the recent posts and reviews on CalibreCompanion, I am greatly disappointed with the developers decision to go subscription! I have been using calibre library on my laptop, and Calibre companion on my iPad and iPhone for many years having paid for and appreciated it’s simplicity and flexibility. There are too many of those in our lives these days.

Thanks for making this handy tool! I’d be happy to chip in for its development, if you could see your way to abandoning the subscription model.

There’s also a bug of some sort that always indicates the library I want (but which isn’t currently connected) selected, so I have to toggle twice to get it to actually load.įinally, it would be lovely if some additional search functions loaded, as I find Subject my most useful tool for finding references. This seems counterintuitive, and I am constantly hunting for this selection. It would make more sense to me to select which library to connect to from the home screen, rather than connecting and loading a library & then having to switch. When in the background, CalibreCompanion resets to the home screen and disconnects from my cloud server. I’m usually using my Calibre libraries during research, which often requires juggling multiple apps. The biggest complaint that I would like to request some attention to is whatever goes on while CalibreCompanion is in the background. It takes advantage of some of the primary advantages I see to using Calibre, including tag searching and cover display. Even as a free version user, I find CalibreCompanion very helpful for accessing my Dropbox-stored libraries.
