He just mistyped "KAJO" -- it's in the initial post.

Sorry. That was a typo in my responseto you, but wasn't on my flight plan that way.

 

KAJO to 3U2.

I tried it on my Samsung S7 phone, since my (more powerful) tablet's in the plane.  (A quick note about the S7: it's now 4 generations back from the current flagship, so this is not a powerhouse CPU or a lot of memory.)  RP solved your flight plan in about 45 seconds.  Watching the progress bar: it did seem to jump back and forth around 14% a lot of the time, and then it suddenly finished.  I used my normal RP parameters, which are more restrictive than yours (the only "avoid" I have turned off is MOA). 

When I set it to the same parameters as yours, it solved it in 42 seconds.  Running it on my 7 year old Windows 7 PC it took about 26 seconds.

It could be there's a fluke in the logic (and I believe that others have posted that repeatedly running RP sometimes gives different results -- so you might try it multiple times).  Or your tablet doesn't have sufficient CPU speed or enough memory to utitlize RP.  I know the earlier model iFly units do not.

Tablet is a 1 year old Samsung TAB A 8" tablet.

This time it finished the plan taking 5 minutes.

MUCH faster just to do it manually.

Took me right over Las Vegas and Nellis Military field. Altitude out of KAJO to miss KRAL and KONT air space air space would require 5,000 FPM climb rate.

Ran this route on my Windows laptop in less than a minute.  Completely different route.

Samsung NOTE 9 phone did the course in 3 minutes. Another route. Seems to be an Android issue. Didn't set for fuel stop this time. Got me into Johnson creek with 3/10 gallon which is expected. Added fuel stop on phone and that added 1.5 minutes to the calc time.
