The next phase of our mobile app beta - Compendium Listings - is now available!
This update adds the Spells, Magic Items, Equipment, Monsters, Races, Classes, Background and Feats sections that you know from the website to the mobile app with offline functionality. Bookmark any listing to access it quickly in the future and the Compendium content in the eReader section is now updated to include links to listings, similar to how the Compendium appears on the website.
To access, simply update your app through the Google Play Store or, on iOS, click the link to opt into the Listings Alpha (TestFlight App required), then update any/all sources within the app to obtain their listings data. You will find these new sections in the Navigation Menu (Android) or in the More Menu (iOS).
Be sure to post any feedback or bugs to our forums or contact us directly at support@dndbeyond.com if you need any assistance.
Oh, thanks XXPX1. This will be helpful.
I noticed that while in the items list, some CR content (such as [Tooltip Not Found]) is there, but some (such as Blood Hunter) is not.
I have noticed when looking at spells, there isn't an option to sort by level which I think would be very helpful, rather than having to filter each time.
Sorry, complete neophyte here....

Where is this link exactly? I don't see anything in the Testflight app, nor do I see it in my D&D Beyond app. Is this an IOS setting?
Thanks in advance,

I would assume you need to open this page in an iOS device and click on the very same link you copied into this post? You know, that blue text in your post? :)
I'm just waiting until we can make characters and Homebrew things in the app 😊
I'll give it a shot, thanks!

That did the trick... Thank you....
I love the new changes.
Fantastic, monumental update.
Is there work being actively done around reconciling how content is rendered and accessed via the compendiums, relative to the new awesome format introduced here?
ex. The class page on the cleric from the handbook is essentially duplicated in the new form. So searching for “cleric” yields the same content rendered in multiple ways.
As a user I care more about ease of content accessibility than I do about a faithful replication of the book styles, so maybe there could be a way to toggle like an exclusion of compendium content easy to switch on search? Just a thought, as Im sure the concept of redesigning the compendiums to embed these new “objects” in order to deduplicate is likely a large undertaking.
Magic Items are much harder to sort through in the app than on the web site while using my phone. Try making the app's magic items section more like the one on the web site, for usability's sake. I honestly prefer to just use the web site right now.
I actually agree when it comes to looking at large vast lists, the website is much better but for narrow quick looks the app does just fine.
Especially since the filter works quite unintuitively - using the phone's "back" button should act as cancel instead of confirmation, and every time I keep looking for the apply button.
When will we be able to run our characters from the mobile app? I'm so far passed being done with hero labs, but there's no app to replace it. I mean, is having offline access to our characters without using pencil and paper really all that bad?
I want to get my entire group on with dndbeyond but some of them outright refuse to use anything that's not comparable to hero labs. I suggested the website to them and invited them to my campaign and everything, but still they don't like it because it requires an internet connection. So if he wants to pull up his character on his wifi only tablet then he HAS to be near wifi which as it turns out is not always possible for him. This makes it terribly inconvenient to use dndbeyond especially when hero labs does exactly what he wants despite it not always being accurate.
He says he would rather ask us if something is accurate constantly than give up on hero labs. Help me help you! I want to bring people to this service but I can't unless you work with what the people want. Offline access to their character sheets from the dndbeyond app! That way we can also run our game straight from the app. Maybe also have an option to autosave the character based on the latest changes ... Kinda like how email servers communicate with the mobile email app? So whenever a change is made there's a time stamp in some backlog or something and when the app finally syncs with the server it compares time stamps and makes those changes to the server or the app based on whatever the latest info is. Or whatever the smart way to do that is...
Please?
The character sheet will be included in the mobile app as the next phase of beta testing. No ETA yet, but we will share more as we get closer to it.
Awesome, I love to hear that.
