Has been a very good app. Latest update, though, introduced a bug. Now, using the pen feature for marking up documents doesn’t work - marks are invisible till you exit markup (which means you can’t see what you’re doing), and even then some of them don’t show. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!
Subpar functionality
disgruntled NYC
While it is helpful to have an app that allows voluminous board materials to be presented digitally, the functionality of this app is indifferent. The markup tool can be glitchy: sometimes it simply doesn’t work, and the tool has to be closed and reopened. If that doesn’t work, the entire diligent app must be shut down and restarted. In my case, the markup pen always initiates in red rather than black despite the fact that I have instructed the app to save my last settings used. Unless I want all my annotations to be in red, that means each time I want to use the markup pen I have to set it to black.Much more annoying, this app frequently requires using a password, which itself must be changed frequently, to access materials. This despite the fact that after each time after re-entering my password, I am told that Face ID will be used for my next login. I would say that about 1/3 of the time this isn’t the case. Needless to say that can be very annoying when the app exits in the middle of a meeting.I have discussed this over an extended period of time with diligent technical support where I am assured that there’s nothing they can do.I would strongly encourage anyone looking for digital access to board materials to consider alternatives to diligent.
What happened to your support?

Have been using for almost 10 years and while your passcode setting is cumbersome (frequent changes, burdensome naming rules) in the past your support was A+ in handling changes. Called and someone answered immediately and fixed the issue. Today the system would not let me change the passcode, tried 5 times and times out before I can change it. When calling support I was put on hold for too long and had to call back later to hold again. Process in past took 3 mins and today spent over an hour on this.
Missing basic functionality
Ckola
The software does not allow URLs to be created for board books, individual pages or other content. This is critical functionality that has been in competitive offerings since day one. This is a showstopper. Do not buy until they fix it.In addition, if your company enables MFA, then users cannot switch between board books without logging out and logging in again. Since Diligent does not play nicely with my password manager, this is a real pain.
This release includes the following updates:
• Introduced a new Background Sync approach that makes book syncing load times faster while the app is being backgrounded
• Various bug fixes: Resolved issues that affect cross document linking, link history and app stability
