So, I've only ever used FltPlan and the newer FltPlan Go apps on my iPad as my EFB primarily because it was free and at the time I was using an Android tablet.
For a while there were some serious draw-backs compared to Foreflight and Garmin Pilot (I haven't really looked into WingX). But now we have:
Geo-Referenced plates and taxi diagrams
Hi-Res VFR and IFR charts
GPS driven 6 Pack flight instruments
In-flight rubber-banding
ADS-B and XM weather
Now we get the ability to overlay plates on our charts:

We still don't have the plan-view that you get in Foreflight as well as a couple other really slick features.
I've at times found the interface to be a little clunky compared to the slick presentation from its competitors but once you learn it there's no issue. So at this point, is it worth it to consider a service provided by Foreflight or Garmin?
Seems to me, FltPlan Go is the way to go.... Thoughts?
