I'm using Fltplan Go's Android version (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2), and in general it works great, pairs with the Stratux I built, and is worth every penny... . After flying with it a while, it's pretty intuitive for most things. However, I can't find an easy way to look up TRSA frequencies. Admittedly, I did my private pilot training back in the pre-EFB days and am still more comfortable with printed maps and a kneeboard than my tablet, but those days are pretty much gone so I'm trying to drag myself forward.
The only way I've found to pull up TRSA frequencies in Fltplan Go is incredibly clunky.. from the map view, long press on the controlling airport, then touch the down arrow next to the airport in the menu that pops up, then the "info" button, then the "view airport" button. At that point, you're looking at the frequencies screen for that airport, but still no app/dep frequncies listed. You have to then click the "OPEN A/FD" button and, at that point from w/in the A/FD, you can find that, for instance, the Elmira app/dep con can be contacted at 128.425. Doing all that in bumpy flight conditions on a 7" screen would be a virtual impossibility. Granted, sorting out your planned frequencies on the ground first is always wise, but it's good to be able to find things in the air if plans A and B both go belly up.
What am I missing?
