Several iOS apps will sort by calibre's tags including Bookari, Aldiko, Marvin, mapleread and Kybook. On some they use a different name than tags and you'll have to select subjects (Kybook) or categories (Aldiko)to see Calibres 'Tags' show up, but it filters them just like Calibre tags. I just couldn't find one that both sorted by tags and showed the summaries in a list form. Mapleread Marvin and Kybook let you connect wirelessly to Calibre.

MapleRead
Tapping on the cover in list view shows the metadata.

KyBook 3
Defaults to viewing metadata when selecting a book.

Marvin 2/Classic
Long press on book shows metadata including summary (this is way more efficient than Marvin 3).

Marvin 3 and sxs
Long press on book shows most metadata at the bottom, Publisher's summary requires an extra tap (it's one of the menu options).
Thanks for this! Kybook seems like the best solution for me right now, just have to hope Calibre companion starts offering the same features as the Android version.
