My username is clearlyclarely. Thank you for soliciting feedback. Here are my thoughts:

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
I would love this feature. I do not always have access to internet, and it would be fun to be able to play offline. In order to enjoy this, I would like to have stronger bots. Would there be any way to play offline two-player? Like if I'm on a road trip or airplane and we pass the iPad back and forth? I would adore that!!!
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I would enjoy this feature. In the old version there was the attack style bot, the big money style bot, etc. I enjoyed playing against a variety of different play styles to work on my own strategies.
3. A strong bot.
Absolutely! I have had several stalemates with the current bot, or something where the bot just keeps doing the same thing over and over like playing apprentice when it's down to one card and buying a copper each turn. I would appreciate something more challenging and "smart".
4. Options for timed games
I do not care about this feature.
5. Options for undo settings
It would be great to auto-allow undo for moves that don't draw or reveal anything. Or before a game begins the players could select the settings. However, it would be nice to allow undo on a case-by-case basis if you provide explanation for instance, even when new info has been revealed.
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Yeah, this would be fun, even though I haven't really thought about it much before.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Please implement this feature! I do not like the current way tables are laid out such that you can only have a random opponent or if I start a table for a friend to join me, random people can enter and I have to boot them :(
8. More translations (to what language?)
I wouldn't use this feature
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
I think it's okay as is, but I would be interested in seeing what you come up with.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
We absolutely need these.
10. Option to hide the log
I am not sure I would use this feature. I reference the log all the time.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
I have an iPhone
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
I would like this feature. I don't necessarily want an app unless it's available for offline play. Otherwise, I would just like to see a better layout. Right now it is tough to see everything since it's just a miniature version of the desktop app. It is tough to use the chat feature too, since everything is so small. The web version works well on my iPad, I should say. The only thing is that it sometimes cuts off the chat bar where I am typing when I have the keyboard pulled up.
13. Downloadable game logs
This would be cool but not a gamechanger for me.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
I would like to see more development here. It would be nice to be able to submit a comment when you blacklist someone.
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Not needed for me.
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not needed for me.

Other suggestions: 1) Make settings available in-game, for instance turning on/off music/sound effects. 2) I would also like to be able to click on a card description in the log in order to see the card. This would be especially helpful for the new boon/hex cards. 3) In the old version (before Making Fun I think?) there was an option to play campaigns through the expansions. I really enjoyed playing those pre-set kingdoms in order to learn the cards well for each expansion. 4) Ability to ban cards (e.g. possession).

Thanks for giving us the chance to extend our dominion membership for free. I was bummed when Making Fun went down, but overall I think your service is working well. We just still have some kinks to work out. Looking forward to the offline version!
