Not having any trouble on my phone (Android 6.0.1), but my tablet (Android 5.1) won't complete any downloads. It seems to crash, and while the content appears downloaded (the bookmark symbol appears) after restarting the app, it crashes when I click the source or I receive an error message about trying again on an active internet connection despite being on my home wifi. After trying to reinstall on my tablet, I'm also now receiving a login error.
Additionally, both versions appear to redownload the manifest.json file each time they're launched, which doesn't seem intentional or economical.
Almost 2 months later, still having the same problem.
I have yet to see anything but the opening screen. I crash every time I attempt to download something, and when I reload, it gives me an error, refuses to load, and then usually crashes again.
Since upgrading to the new version, the app glitches out (flashing screen, error notice I can't close) when changing pages in SKT. So far it's only happened in SKT.

The images of the books are not correct it’s only displaying 4 different images across 8 books there doubled up. After a few swipes back and forth it resolves it elf mostly but not completely. Launching a book mark without a book being open causes the app to crash. No error message it just stops working IOS platform
Asus ZenPad 3s 10, Android 7.0, app version 1.0.0.27
When opening it will always download manifest.json, this takes a bit and openintakes 15-20 seconds. if manifest does not download, the app does not open and I have to kill the app
Once the app is open I have found that occasionally it will not display all of the content I have purchased.
Open a book and I get an unexpected error. I press the button and it comes back before I can do anything.
Kill the app, rinse and repeat.
Uninstall and reinstall, same thing.
Everything was working fine last week when I last read through some of Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Today I cannot open any book at all.
I just downloaded the latest version (1.0.0.27) on iOS 11.2.5 and I now have missing and repeated books in my compendium. When I first opened the app I saw the new book layout with all of the expected books and then a second or two later the view refreshed and re-ordered the books and had the following issues:
On the first row it had Xanathar's Guide to Everything and The Tortle package, both looking downloaded. These two books were also on the last row, but with the Tortle package correctly showing as not downloaded. After switching away from the app and back (but not force-closing it) the view is now correct again: it turns out the first row showing XGtE and the Tortle package were "hiding" the Basic Rules and the Player's Handbook (which are now visible).
The same issue happened for me when switching to look at Adventures: the view "refreshed" and then the first row and last row showed Princes of the Apocalypse and The Rise of Tiamat, with the first row "hiding" the Lost Mines of Phandelver and Out of the Abyss books. As with the Rules books, switching away from and back to the app has also fixed this.

Thanks!
This was a very similar experiance, sometime just moving from books to adventure and back caused it to refresh for me, and now when I select book marks the app just crash. I tried it from the root were the books are and even with the book itself.
I just upgraded to a newer phone and things are working relatively well. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S7 (model sm-930p), android version 7.0. I'm able to view just about every book through the app, but "Hoard of the Dragon Queen," "Rise of Tiamat," and "Lost Mine of Phandelver" seem to be having trouble. I can download them, but when I try to view them, they either don't load (infinite spinning circle), or the app crashes, or I get a flashing screen with the error message (UNEXPECTED ERROR; an error occured while loading the compendium page. this issue has been logged).
Additionally, I am unable to see the Tales From the Yawning Portal book in the adventures tab at all, despite being able to download it through the My Content menu.

When switching from DDB app to another app and back, DDB returns to the top of the page instead of staying at the last location on the page.

There is an almost endless list of things that can make a piece of software crash. I would think that in this case, most of the problems would come from trying to program an app for all the various phones, tablets, emulators etc that people are trying to use. That is extremely difficult.
iPad Air, iOS 11.2.5. No matter what I do, the cover for the Monster Manual shows up as things other than the MM. By going away from the "Compendium" page and back, I can sometimes get it to swap to other covers (PHB, DMG, Volo's, etc), but no matter what I do, I can't get it to show as the MM (it usually shows the cover of the PHB). Underneath My Account - My Content, it shows no icon for the MM.
It works fine on my iPhone X.
Edit: Solution (it's a bug) was in another megathread elsewhere around here...
Sorry for the lapse in feedback, life got in the way and what not (and then I posted this in the wrong thread).
I'm still getting the same problem as before where the links don't work but I can swipe through the content. An error message pops up saying that the problem was logged, but I figured I'd say something here to be safe.
I cant load the DMG at all the app just spins on my iPad. All my bookmarks were incompatible as well, they had to be deleted, that was kind of frustrating.
Since upgrading to version 1.0.0.37 my Dungeon Master's Guide (which I had to re-download) no longer updates the page I was last looking at, always going back to the page I had been looking at before I upgraded to 1.0.0.37. It's always at the top of the page, too (rather than where I was last looking).
On Android 8.0.0, trying to open a bookmark causes the app to crash.

Lost Mines and Hord are erroring out when I try to open them
As someone that hasn’t done software development, I am curious what causes a program or app to Crash?

Every time I open the app a file starts downloading: manifest.json. On my phone it downloads no problem, but on my tablet it stalls out.
If the app needs to download a file to run, it might be worth giving people a notice. Kinda freaked me out the first time .
