I’m on DDB version 2.60.1 and all of the new 2024 classes and subclasses show the class/subclass features in the compendium but none of the ones I just checked have any verbiage in the text to indicate what level those come online, so I have to constantly lose my place reading to flip to the class progression table to see the levels they gain features and then for subclass features I have to guess which ones come on line at a given level.
On DnDBeyond.Com all the feature names are preceded by the level, such as “Level 1: Spellcasting” or “Level 2: Danger Sense”, but in the app they just say “Spellcasting” or “Danger Sense” with no level indicator.
The 2014 versions have verbiage such as “At level 5 you gain the…”, and so it doesn’t matter so much that the title doesn’t have that info.
Side note: I apologize if this has been brought up and for not providing screenshots. The mobile website doesn’t give me an option to embed images and I could not find the forum search.
I agree. This seems like a huge oversight to the usability of these class feature pages. Having to scroll back and forth to check what levels you're supposed to get features at is a huge pain.
This is still a problem and is very frustrating. At least for core class features you can reference the chart, but for subclass features it's total guesswork to figure out if you get a feature at the next "subclass feature" milestone or if it was supposed to be unlocked at the same level as another.
This is a SIGNIFICANT oversight - WotC should fix this post-haste. The Druid Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond (dndbeyond.com) <-- Examples -- Quite literally the only reference available to level is the Quick Reference table in the Druid level charts that says 'Subclass Feature' -- It doesn't specify which subclass feature, however.
Some of them you can't even tell flipping back and forth... for instance, Way of Mercy monk has several more features than there are levels at which to gain them, so presumably you're getting multiple features at one or more of the levels (and, of course, I can look back at the old pre-2024 Way of Mercy monk and see that you get Hand of Healing, Hand of Harm, and the bonus proficiencies at level 3), but if I'm tossing this to a new player and saying "Level up your character", I don't see how they do that correctly without me helping them.
bumping because THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, both for website and app. for classes at least you have the table, but with subclasses you are left in the dark to guess, or even more embarrassing for WotC, using 2014 classes/subclasses as a guide for the new stuff? really?? how hard is it to add " #th level [CLASS/SUBCLASS] feature " below every name?
I am a new player to dnd, so I have only read the 2024 rules. I at first thought that you gained all the class features when you pick the subclass at level 3 (because there is nowhere that states a level requirement for the subclass feature.)
It wasn’t until I read the monk’s Open Hand subclass that you could do 10d12 damage with Quivering Palm that I thought to myself, “dang, this is super OP for only being level 3!” Then realized that you would only unlock that when you gain class features in the future.
But then I thought, “ wait there is 6 subclass features and you only level up those subclass features 5 times, so how do I know what features go to which level up?”
And now we are here on this post. Really disappointing! I would love some further clarification on which subclass feature level up goes to which subclass feature if anyone could provide some!

They're also listed in the table that shows your levels
That's true for the class features, but there's no table for each individual subclass showing when the subclass features are granted. Although the main class table does say "subclass feature" at each appropriate level, many subclasses offer multiple features at some levels, so without the level numbers being listed in the text it can still be hard to figure out what goes where.
I see now! I am using the DnD Beyond app, so I didn’t know that the compendium pages vs the class pages were different. Thanks for the clarification! It would be nice for them to add the “Level X: …” portion to the titles of the compendium page too. Unless there is a good reason that they don’t. :)

It was a problem on the website version of the compendium pages too, back when the new Player's Handbook was first released, but it's since been fixed there. I have no idea why they weren't able or willing to fix both at the same time. They haven't been very communicative about these things, unfortunately.
Bumping this again, because it's still a massively annoying problem that needs to be fixed.
The app is a great way to browse a lot of content, but not having levels on class and subclass features makes it near impossible to plan builds on the app.
BUMB BUMB BUMP. This is an easy fix. The level breaks are already written, just pay someone for a day to add this template to all Subclasses: “At Level [##]:”

Yeah, I just noticed this too.
Makes that functionality entirely not usable. Hopefully this gets fixed quickly.
Still waiting on the fix... Please, WotC. Your book is an accessibility nightmare for new players.

Wow! Reported September 7th, 2024 and still no news or corrections as of January 29th, 2025? Re-Wow! This is not an app logic breaking enhancement.

If you look at the actual online book, rather than the compendium page for the class, the level for each subclass feature is shown. Here's the part for Monks: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/phb-2024/character-classes#Monk
