However, If anything, an already aware pilot in command is getting to many pop up alerts. I like the idea of an airspace or SUA alert poping the QV, but I think that would have to be an option. That way if it is a class D, etc, you simple tap the APT option for the CT freq. It could even by used for Traffic, Obstructions, etc.

Oh, yes, definitely an option, like the Blue button is already. Were I the boss, I would simply replace the Blue Button with the QV popping up with the airspace tab clicked. That draws a blue outline around the offending airspace. I suppose, as you propose, that there would have to be more granularity about when the QV pops up. For example, I don't want it popping up for Class D. But I do want it popping up for Restricted, Prohibited areas when I'm too close. If too hard to make a page of granularity, then perhaps the QV pops up only for airspaces that don't have a shade or outline set? For example, I set Restricted and Prohibited airspace to shade. I set MOA's to outline. But I don't do anything with Class D. Frankly, I don't need a pop up to tell me I'm about to fly into an MOA (we've been flying in MOA's in Arizona for 21 years without problems), bu tI suppose it couldn't hurt to get a QV pop up just as I enter the MOA just to help put me on higher alert.
