What aircraft type(s) on the LH segment(s)? I have an Aeroplan booking that has SQ and BR. The SQ flight is on a 359, and the type isn't listed. There are two BR segments, one on a 333 and the other on an 77W. Both of those are shown. If I were guessing bases on that data alone, it displays the type for OAL if it's a type that's operated by AC (and therefore perhaps listed in whatever database the app pulls the name from?), but that's a guess.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there's a ET 788 segment on there that shows up normally too.

I just made a couple bookings on united.com, added my Aeroplan number through there, and they're both showing up in the AC app automatically.

I'm now seeing the aircraft type on all my Aeroplan bookings.
I cancelled all my bookings with NH and UA, so I can't check any other airlines easily.

I'm seeing aircraft type on all bookings, including ones that were missing before. This includes the SQ 359 segment that was previously missing. It just says "359" rather than "Airbus A350-900", unlike the types that AC operates, but if memory serves, that's consistent with the AC website, isn't it?

I keep contacting them requesting that they add the fare branding to the itinerary in the App. I book Flex (sometimes) and Comfort (often), it would be nice to know what is what vs just "Economy" or "K".

Looks like the app isn't properly classifying YQ/YR on the summary page before purchase. "Air transportation charges" should include base fare + carrier surcharges, but when we look at the breakdown, we can see that they're actually getting added in to the "Taxes, fees & charges" line.
