I don't know if all of these have been mentioned, but I know some have:
1. More editing options in the app for offline use (being able to equip/unequip armor, weapons, and magic items.
2. In the same topic of items, being able to adjust the quantity and add/remove items from the inventory.
3. Cross-app integration. I use the D&D Beyond app for offline play with my sourcebooks so it would be nice to be able to correlate that with the Character Sheet.
4. Offline character updates. I think being able to level a character or create a new character completely offline would be fantastic. This sort of goes with the cross-app integration since the app could see what books you own and accurately limit what you can do while completely offline. Allowing us to add or remove spells, feats, invocations, etc.
5. More them options. I love the Dark because it is easy on the eyes, but being able to set up different themes or backgrounds for specific characters would be awesome.
6. Dice. I'm not saying the full digital dice experience like the website, but being able to select and roll dice (sans animation) would be extremely useful.
Of these 1-4 are the ones I hope to see by the time the app is fully released. 5 and 6 are just nice to have but not really needed for the full offline experience.
While I agree with most of the points (and as far as I know, they are all on their todo list), personally 5 is the most important, as the dark mode is the opposite of being easy on my eyes - instead of a nice to have I think it's an important usability requirement. (I couldn't care less about the dice rolling, but I understand it's important for others.)

--[ Natural 20 - that's how I roll! ]-- We've stopped this OGL madness, but stay vigilant, they tried it once, they can try it again.
Swiping can be an issue for some phones. The newer Moto g series uses swipe from the right side instead of a back button
I should note this is default behavior in Android 10. While that's not as many devices as it should be right now, it is going to be something to keep in mind going forward.

Really? I'm on Quiche for a few months now and I haven't seen it once. This is the first time I've heard of it.
Yeah typically Android supports the last navigation setup so that people who upgrade their phones don't have to relearn how to use it. It's a good thing to keep in mind since not everyone is OK with having to relearn everything every couple of months.
Android 10's default gesture based navigation intentionally does not have a single button UX or any buttons. It's all gestures. Swipe up from the bottom for Home or the app tray (if already on home). Sipe in from the side for Back.
I don't really see this as a huge issue since these Navigation Gestures basically all require you start from the edge of the screen while the app's page swiping does not.
I created a few new charcters last week in preparation for D&D Live 2020. A couple of the characters are showing "No Race Selected" in the app even though everything is correct in D&D Beyond when accessed via the web site. The app is giving the correct stats, including correctly adding racial modifiers. However, it is not showing the race on the main character selection screen.

Same here, all of my races that have subraces do it, so it isn't just one race this happens to. Has anyone else noticed this? It shows up on the character screen with all of the characters, but when you select the character it shows correctly.
I am not seeing that on any character I've created that has a subrace selected. Can you be more specific? It doesn't seem to affect Aasimar, Dwarf, Human, halfling, or Half-Elf for me.
On a more positive note, I can confirm that custom skills appear just fine in the player app. Had to add a few to a character for an upcoming campaign and the display fine in the Player App.
The one that was affecting mine should have said Mountain Dwarf. However, today it shows up correctly. I don't know if they pushed out an update or if it just didn't load everything properly last week. When it was occurring last week I killed and restarted the app a few times. I even power cycled my phone a couple times and every time it was saying, "No Race Selected" instead of Mountain Dwarf, but today it looks fine. Odd...
Adding a dice result tracker to the campaign would be invaluable to DM's that are forced to play games remotely. There are a ton of 3rd party options for handling this, but full integration into the player app and website would be a huge step forward in the world of remote D&D sessions and using a single system.
It looks like the last update to the Alpha on Android was released on May 26th. That seems like a long time for an alpha. Is there some hangup going on that we should know about?

Yes. The hang up is developing and testing the next feature. Which, I assume, will be spell management.
I'm aware it's UA, but not being able to see the Wild Surge table for Wild Soul Barbarians is inconvenient. Could it just be listed under the Features entry to begin with?
Not sure if this has been mentioned here but I’ve become pretty accustomed to viewing my characters in the order they appear on the desktop. So in order of date created. It would be nice if I could sort the character in the app by “date created” rather than alphabetical.

It's the default for new installs of android 10 and above, a single button UX which does included a general edge wide back swipe command.

I've noticed this on races with subclasses.

I am loving this app so far! I know these have likely been mentioned but here is my feedback so far.
This was the Android app, for what it's worth.
I was seeing it on the Shifter race but now it's showing "Longtooth" so I'm assuming that a fix happened :)

One thing I would like as a DM is the ability to also view My Campaigns to be able to take a look my player's sheets.
