Instead of direct to, you can add the IAF to your flight plan. Any app is going to seem like it has problems until you learn all the nuances. That's not to say it's perfect, but it's the best I've used and I've used them all except ForeFlight. Also, the waypoints are there if you overlay the appropriate approach plate. Also, they just added all of those waypoints to the beta version. Don't believe everything you read.

On the other hand, some would say your old flight plan should go away once you are flying an approach. You obviously know what airport you are going to and you have the geo-referenced approach in front of you. Why would you want or need your previous flight plan unless you were making an approach at one airport and then heading to another airport?

I tried a lot of different apps before I finally bought Ifly and obviously I liked Ifly the best. The one that others seem to like that I did not try was Foreflight because it is for Ipad only. I bought my tablet specifically for Ifly and got Andoid because it was much less expensive, I was used to it from my Android phone, there were a lot of different ones to choose from, and I didn't want to be a slave to Apple only. I also wanted an app that I could run on the tablet and my phone as a backup since I planned on using it as my only source of charts and approach plates flying IFR.

There were things Ifly did not have when I got it, but I spoke to them and all of them were things they were working on adding and they were added as promised or close to being added now. The updates and listening to the users is one thing Ifly is really doing right.
