When you have a spellcasting extra (specifically sidekicks) like one of my players do (party of 3, so my wife who plays a rogue also runs a healer sidekick) the statblock given to you for access on your sheet is pretty much useless.
First of all, no way to mark spell slots used. Of course this is also a problem for DMs in general and I'm sure they're working on it. Still, it's pretty bad, but sort of gets a very tentative pass on this one.
Second one is worse. The spells arent hyperlinked or anything, so all they have to go off of is the spell name; they'd have to open another tab and go spell search to figure out what it does, already super inconvenient and even worse if you're on mobile.
Together, this makes spellcasting sidekicks literally unusable in their current form for players. If you could at least handle the second issue that would be reasonable. But as is, my wife and I are talking about make a paper character sheet for her sidekick. Kinda defeats the purpose of having the content on DDB... 😕

That's a harsh way to put it, but its true.
