NavTech has a bit of work to do to match the features that Jepp has, plus we have to get used to the differences in how the data is presented. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to shoot an ILS to mins with the NavTech charts just yet...

And as soneone else asked, it's all about the $$$.
You didn't really just compare the Jepp app to Foreflight did you?. They are worlds apart in quality. The Jepp app gets the job done barely. Foreflight is not even in the same playing field. If Jepp has been trying to keep up with them, they have done a very poor job. They're about 5 years behind in my opinion which is an eternity in the tech world.
