Genghis has beaten me to it, but SkyDemon backed up by Avia Maps would be my recommendation.

I use FltPlanGo and AirMate on my iPad / iPhone. Both are free.

Skydemon anyday

Runway HD service is finishing at the end of October.
That will limit the options somewhat.

For VFR? How about map, compass and eyeballs?

Quaint but silly, by all means keep them as backup but why use an antiquated method of navigation that means you have to spend more time and head space using it thus leaving less time to look out the window or monitor your engine instruments than if you took advantage of these new tools?

I'm sure the map etc thing is blurted out mainly by the those secretly worried they will lose all their faculties if they don't regularly exercise arcane mind puzzles

BTW you forgot the stopwatch:}

Am probably antiquated, but I follow roads, railways, rivers, lakes, islands, fjords, whatever's out there to follow. Once flew from EKRK (Denmark) to Tempelhof that way. Will admit an occasional glance at GPS, if present, on and working.

SkyDemon is the only VFR nav app you'll ever need. I have Garmin and Foreflight but neither compare to the GOAT.
