Ah, I see. That TFR didn't even show up on the FAA's TFR site: http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr_map_ims/html/index.html

It is now showing on our map, but with altitude SFC to 0AGL it is clearly not correct. We get our TFR data directly from the FAA, and if they publish bad information there is little we can do about it right now.

Whe the data is correct, the iFly App will display a TFR Graphic begining 24 hours before it's active. You can also get a flight briefing from the app: Flight Plan / Online Filing / Options / Get Briefing. This will give you notice of pending TFRs, even if the FAA forgot to publish a graphic.

Hope this helps!

So how is it that Garmin was able to paint the pending TFR but iFly wasn't? Does Garmin pay a human to read textual TFR's?

Possibly. Or Jeppesen may be doing that for them. Jepp also has a TFR feed but the *free* one is pretty inacurate at times, or unavailable. We switched from Jepp to FAA last year, and our our missing/inacurate TFR reports all but went away...until Biden's trip to HOU of course.
