SkyDemon vs. Foreflight

For about 5 years I've been running ForeFlight on a cellular iPad 128 gB for my 4 weeks or so in the USA and SkyDemon on the same device for all the rest of the time in the UK. My flying is VFR in DA-40, PA-28 and 172 in various bits of the USA and at Redhill.

ForeFlight has some useful additions like the numbers of weather charts that can be imposed and the synthetic terrain (useful in the mountains of Colorado) but the charts have not been good for UK VFR & I don't believe they do UK NOTAMS.

Now ForeFlight have started doing European charts, could I realistically go over to it full time in the UK as well ? and abandon SkyDemon

My SkyDemon has a Pooley's subscription with it, which I also find useful, what does ForeFlight have as an equivalent ?

All comments on the relative pros and cons gratefully received.
