I know it just came out less than an hour ago, but I thought, well, why not?
SO: What's everyone's opinion of the new app? You must say at least one pro (I don't want this to be one of those hate threads). Saying a con is entirely optional, cause I can't find anything wrong with the app! It's great. The whole thing. I just have one suggestion: Put dice rolling in the monster stat blocks, so you can roll their hit and damage, hit points, skill checks, etc.
Well done, D&D Beyond!
NOTE: This is my first time doing a poll. Let me know if I've done anything wrong! (I probably have).
EDIT: HELP I SCREWED THE POLL HOW DO I FIX IT!?!? (Vote on the first thing on the poll until it's fixed)
EDIT 2: Oh look, one of the mods must have fixed the poll!
EDIT 3: After having the app for nearly a day, I do have one wish: Put the Encounter Builder on the app! It would be super handy to create encounters on the fly when offline.
It's nice having everything in one app, but I have one gripe. I get that if I want to read through one of the books I've purchased, I have to download that book. But if I'm looking through a list of spells/feats/etc and click one to view the specifics, I have to download the entire sourcebook that it comes from. Space on my phone is limited and those sourcebooks are not small downloads.

It was a slight pain redownloading all the books, but it is nice not to have to bounce between apps anymore. One small gripe: I'd like to see the checkbox to hide sources I did not download return so I do not see things like the basic rules and Frozen Sick when I toggle between sourcebooks and adventures. There is a downloaded filter but it doesn't seem to apply in the other sections.
Make sure you import your bookmarks from the old app before deleting it. I only had about a half dozen of them, but I did not realize that they wouldn't automatically switch over and removed the reader to make room first. Don't make the same mistake I did.
Seems to work so far, though really wish there had been something like a "download all" button for sourcebooks.
There doesn't appear to be a way to change the skin for dice at the moment which is disappointing.
I'd really like to see a dice roller that you don't have to open a character for. It could be helpful if wanting to roll tables while going through books or just to utilize instead of physical dice.
Does anyone know how to access the manage your spells feature?
Open a spellcaster's character sheet. Click the red waffle next to "Abilities, Saves, Senses" and choose Spells from the menu. There is a blue button called "Manage Spells" right under the Spell Attack modifier.

I am either very dim or it isn’t on my iPhone...
I am not sure how to post a screenshot but no blue button anywhere on the spells screen.
Also, creating a character takes me back to the website. Maybe an Apple IPhone thing?

Found this thread in the Feedback forums. Looks like it's an Apple iPhone thing. Probably will not be long before it's working though.

I don't think you can change polls...
I don't have it yet, but I think being able to access dndbeyond without constantly having to search it will be nice.
I am an average mathematics enjoyer.

Good point. Those sourcebook downloads are huge!

FWIW, a fully-loaded D&D Beyond app comes in at 4.40 GB of storage space. Just a little larger than the mobile versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2!
So far so good, but I'd like to be able to roll monster stat blocks as DM within the app and have that show up in the game log.

Choose a character sheet and then click on the profile picture. A menu called "My Dice" pops up.
The App is great, a big improvement over the old reader which crashed all the time on my iPhone.
