If you were willing to see what the latest applications are capable of you would realise they are capable of far greater than this. As a recent ‘returnee’ to flying, I am genuinely astounded by the capability of EFBs and what they can offer the average GA pilot (I even reluctantly bought an iPad).
Unless you’ve tried the modern alternatives, you simply can’t have an informed opinion of them. Many EFBs offer free trial periods, no strings attached.
