I have some critiques about the way adventure modules are currently displayed on DnD Beyond app.
I recently purchased Princes of the Apocalypse both in book form and on DnD Beyond because I wanted to see how adventures read online. Using the web browser is easy enough, but the mobile app is just not very useful for reading about the different sections of a map. When I have the book in front of me, I bookmark the page with the map and flip back to it as a reference when I'm reading the numbered sections of the dungeon/area, as it's easier to understand the text when I can see what the room looks like. When used in the web browser, it's fairly simple to do the same with one browser open to the map and the other to the text (AND it even brings up monster stat blocks which is amazing). In the app you have to scroll up and down and for some of the larger dungeons this can be incredibly tedious. It would be incredibly helpful of there were more links in the app, such that I can tap an area of the map and I'm scrolled down to the section describing that area.
It would be great to see these links extended to include monster stat blocks, magic items, NPCs/areas of significance!
Edit - Additionally to add to the frustration of having to scroll up and down in the app, there is a bug where if you slightly scroll left or right without jumping to the next page, it will jump back up to the top of the page or closest image, sometimes forcing you to begin your scrolling anew.
