BookFolder

I have spent hours searching the App Store , looking for a visual file/folder type of organizer for my way-too-many book collection. Just a general, all around storage-preferably that works with PDF format. Quite by accident, while looking for something else, I found this hidden jewel. I love it. If you love books, have a lot of them, and prefer them in PDF format-and want a solid, simple, no glitches way to organize and store your books ( I have just over 200 in this app) then download this app! It does not have 40 functions, and there is a little how-to handbook; but you don’t need it. What it does do, is create folders to organize and store books or documents. A small list on the left “ nests” title separators and their folders, and on the right displays large folders, and nested inside are large books with the actual book cover as the icon. Or the first page of a document. You can change the cover, if you wish. There are no hidden prices for anything, it’s an actual free app! Never glitched on me, and has never crashed. This app should be an essential, if you have lots of pdf with no home

I’ve looked and looked for a great solution for my RPG collection, and finally I’ve found it. As another put it, this is a criminally underrated program. I had to dig and dig on the App Store to find it and if you dear reader have arrived here from the same search, stop and download. I love that I can choose the cover if the pdf isn’t built to display the cover properly (looking at you Paizo). I love that this a lightweight program that stays out of the way, until I want to double tap to maximize a column view - and boom, it works. It’s so useful, I feel guilty getting it for free.

So this is the first app that made me break down and write a review! I got this to have an easy way to read art books while drawing, and I didn’t need anything with a lot of bells and whistles — just wanted something simple, something that let me see the PDF’s as needed. The first big boon to the program is that it allows easy folder generation and sorting, with the typical hold and drag method. I can sort things by art book, tutorials, other, and it’s wonderful. PDF’s are turned from right-to-left, not up-and-down, and that makes the process so much nicer. Ultimately, that’s all there is to it. It doesn’t make PDF, so there’s not all that bloat if that’s not something you need. You won’t find a better reader, and it’s absolutely free and has zero ads. How can it get better? I’m not sure it can.
