This is more of a general gripe but if someone knows a solution I'm all ears.
I was just looking at some stuff on foreflight for a possible flight tomorrow. I turned on sigmets hoping to get a clue about tomorrow's icing potential from today's conditions. Tapped all over the place trying to open the sigmet on my map but no dice. Then later when I was trying to open up information at an airport I tapped it and up comes the sigmet I was trying to look at.
From a programming perspective I see the problem- it's a touchscreen so a touch is the only input and you could have your finger over an airport, a vor, a waypoint, a MOA, a sigmet, a TFR..... and more. Who knows. They kind of have a fix in that if you hold your finger down it pops up that list and there's a filter at the bottom for All/Airports/Nav/Waypoints but nothing for sigmets LOL. It's a nice start of a solution but it needs work. I wish they'd put some dev time into this little detail rather than adding a bunch of new features.
