I've been using the iPad version for a little more than a month now and am generally very impressed. There is one thing I can't find though: is there a way to see the Actual Time of Departure after take-off? It's not in the live PLOG (only times over route waypoints). Obviously I can find it in the flight log after landing, but it would be nice to see it while still airborne.

I disagree that frequencies could be incorporated in this way. Long legs may require the use of many different frequencies while flying them, for example, and on the other hand one frequency may be used for many smaller local legs. I don't want to attempt to integrate them with the lines of the waypoints section for this reason. We are very tempted to move the Radio screen into the PLOG but have not yet done so.
We've made significant progress in the last few days; the PLOG (live and planned) has been standardised across iOS/Android and every section has been reviewed to ensure it fits properly on the target paper size (when printing) and the target screen size. This means the number of columns in which frequencies and navaids are displayed is dynamic.
When flying, the columns that are "live" are highlighted in blue and the active leg is too, with a progress bar drawn to indicate how far through the leg you've travelled.
Where waypoints are shown in the first column, these can be clicked on to reveal the same menu you'd get on the map, with options such as further information and Route Direct (making it easy to go directly to a future waypoint in your route).
This is still a work in progress but I will post a screenshot of the PLOG that is currently shown when navigating (Android device).
