I get a far better performance while opening the app on my Android phone (Huawei P10, Android 7.0) compared to my iPad (2017 model, most recent iOS).
Loading the app seems to take forever on iOS. That is, if my network is working. If I go offline, it opens really quickly.
I've bought almost everything on Beyond, and I'm using the Master sub with my group. One of my players who also tested the app says she doesn't have access to my content in app, although she does on web version due to content sharing.
Lost Mine of Phandelver: The Forgotten Realms in TOC links to Introduction instead of the proper content.

Developers have said access to shared content is coming, so this is a known limitation of the beta app.
Using iOS (Manifest v7.0), my purchases (PHB and Xanathar's) display correctly and gave the download option. I then downloaded the PHB. However, when I attempted to open it, I got the error message 'There was an error loading the compendium source. Try again with an active internet connection or contact support if the problem persists.' I checked my internet connection by loading data on other apps, and they were working, so my internet should be fine.
I did not have this issue with the Basic Rules (although that file didn't have a spell list like in the Basic Rules pdf).
After the last app update on Android, all my previously downloaded books all auto-downloaded again. Is this going to happen every time it updates?

"Orcs are savage raiders and pillagers with stooped postures, low foreheads, and piggish faces with prominent lower canines that resemble tusks." MM p245 (original printing) You don't OWN your books on DDB: WotC can change them any time. What do you think will happen when OneD&D comes out?

The books will auto update whenever there are changes to that particular book. It has nothing to do with the recent app update (merely a coincidence in timing).
At this stage of things, updates may occur periodically as we discover and correct issues within any given book. As the content matures and the quirks are worked out, updates should become less frequent.
I have the app on my tablet, and recently downloaded the app on my phone. I went to log in and was met with a message saying I have exceeded the maximum number of log ins. I'm assuming this is due to being logged in on my tablet, which was at home. It's strange that I can only be logged into the app from one device at a time, considering I can access the website from multiple locations (phone, laptop, tablet) at the same time.

Non-subscribing users are limited to two active devices. Active devices can be managed here. Reinstalling the app will register as a new device, simply remove the old entry if you reinstalled the app.
Storm King's Thunder: links for locations at chapter 3 are not working (Android 7.0), they just put me at the beginning of the chapter. Also, part of the text at the Great Worm Cavern regarding Womblod quest appears to be missing - it also appears to be missing from the web version.

We are aware that the adventures still need some work, especially their Table of Contents and the length of some pages.
I just compared the content between the physical book, website and mobile app of the Great Worm Cavern and did not see any differences. The portion about Wormblod is specifically under the section labeled "Altar". Could you provide a bit more details about what might be missing?

This portion of text:
The couatl knows that Wormblod is away, searching for a missing concubine named If the characters present proof of Wormblod’s death as an offering to the altar, see “Development.”
It seems the text is cut mid-sentence, not providing the name or quest details. Using Chrome on web version. Also, "Development" part seems to be missing. There's also some typos (Womblod/Wormblod).
I don't have the physical product so I can't compare whether the same content is missing from there as well, but it seems something is missing here.

I can confirm that the same text is in the physical book. Only an official Errata can make DDB change that.
Source BUG: The Curse of Strahd Forward load spins forever, never loading content.
App BUG (?): The Display Mode Setting options are "Display Style" and "Content" - not very descriptive labels for what each option is/does. Seems like it was a labeling oversight by the developers.

I knew the name was very lacking when I put it in, so please feel free to offer alternatives. ;)
The option makes the theme of the app either based on the Display Style (Clean/Book/Dark), so that the theming stays consistent from one screen to another - which is especially nice for the Dark Mode night-time readers. While Content mode themes the app based on what current content you are in. For example, if you are in Spells (not featured in public release) it's purple, if you are in items, it's blue, compendium is green, so on.
We realize the setting is not very self descriptive.... but some users were wanting the option so it's better to have a poorly name featured than no feature at all :P

Maybe "Static" for Display Style and "Dynamic" for Content Mode?
You could also have a line or two of description in a smaller font below the option, no? I've seen such used before, and it's usually very useful.
Display Mode This option dictates the general theme style according to the selected source.
Speaking of formatting the settings page, shouldn't the separating titles ("Device Settings" and "Compendium Options") have different formatting than the rest?
