Thanks as a legendary owner I was having issues on my iPad making bookmarks in my Dungeon Master guide and went into the player hand book and was able to create all the bookmark folders so I can start organizing my digital book to match my physical book I just wish they had page numbers or at the least a option to turn them on I shall go search the forums for that. As this is for bookmarks that is still having some hiccups.
I'm having the same problem as ReikaXaris and AngryMarten.
I have to try several times to bookmark something by trying to touch the appropriate folder on an all white screen. Sometimes I can do it (after a few tries) other times, choosing "done" kicks me out of the app, which causes me to loose my place/page and it goes back to the compendium menu, and start all over again. I've tried deleting the app and re-downloading it onto my iPhone. Not only did that not fix the issue, it deleted all of the folders/bookmarks I had had on there. I recently purchased an iPad and hoped that it being a new device with the first time downloading the app, that it would solve the problem on the iPad, as it seems not everyone is having this exact problem. It didn't work. I was also annoyed that my folders/bookmarks from my phone didn't "sync" to my tablet. This is only annoying due to the bookmarking problem. I have no problem adding everything over again, if I could (it would be nice if that's added in the future). More so, I'm a new player. I purchased the physical Essentials Kit and used the key to buy the Player's Handbook. I want to buy the Dungeons Master's Guide, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and Xanathar's Guide To Everything, but won't be until this bookmarking issue is fixed as bookmarking is essential to this app and D&D Beyond as an alternative to physical books. With every update I hold my breath only to exhale in defeat, as the problem remains.
Folders/bookmarks don't exist in the web browser version of D&D Beyond, and being able to have multiple tabs open, while also using the app is a great multitasking/researching option. But it's folders/bookmarks that make this app and sell this service. I've been waiting six plus months for this to at least be acknowledged in an article post or something on the website to truly say "we know this is happening, we are trying to fix it, we are not ignoring it to concentrate all our resources on the upcoming player's app, or, the upcoming players app will have folder/bookmarking ability as well, or folder/bookmarks are coming soon to the web version, etc" just something to acknowledge that it's been over six months for some players who want to play, especially now when a whole lot of people (sadly) have the time to play.

How are y’all even making folders in the first place? The only place I run into it is when saving a bookmark and I just get a white window with “Cancel” and “Done” on the left and right sides...
In case this hasn’t beaten solved yet, the solution, at least what I found works, is to go into your System Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Under "Appearance" switch to "light mode" and turn "Automatic" off as well. This immediately shows the text and fixes the issue of the blank folder options when trying to save bookmarks. If you switch back to dark mode everything disappears agian, so you have to make sure to remember to keep the automatic setting disabled as well, otherwise as soon as dark mode kicks in the folder options will be blank.
I can't delete bookmarks on my Android tablet; I can make them, but then there is no way to remove them;. I can 'edit bookmark' but then there are only options to put it in a folder or chage the name! Anyone else have this or can point me to another way of doing it; on the website maybe?

This is also an issue on my Samsung tablet.
