Correct on ForeFlight / Android. I meant WingX.

Essentially, users of Android-related flight planning products are seeing the same or better functionality as ForeFlight / Seattle / Wingx for the iPad/iPhone

Switching to Android on the phone / tablet is a big leap that has been hindered by support. That seems to be addressed (particularly by Garmin?)

i have the garmin pilot on a nexus 7 and like it mostly because of the complete info available, airports, notams etc. i also keep it on my smart phone without the maps downloaded. a gripe about garmin is that statute miles is not an option.
for navigating i use avare. it is so simple that it is a snap to set up. one downside on avare is that if you update info but not the map your position can move by several miles on the map compared to reality!. this happened to me. this is how i learned about it. your course line misses the airport by miles!. the inventor said he was going to program in some flag to let you know in your info does not match the map download.

Ah, that's good information on Avare, thanks! I use it on the phone as a backup. Like right now as my Google Nexus 7 died. The other day I aligned the approach to the extended runway indicators...but found myself a few miles off.
