A few questions about SkyDemon usage

I am using SkyDemon together with MSFS2020 on an iPad for flight planning and flight following and have a few questions...

1. Why does the altitude in SkyDemon always show as approx. 100ft less than the actual flight altitude?
2. Is there a way to bookmark AIP charts for anticipated departure and arrival, so that I don't have to navigate through the 'Airfields' tab during flight?
3. Is it possible to assign an alarm to a waypoint? e.g. TOD
4. How do I quickly set a new Altitude on the flightplan during a flight, e.g. ATC give me a new altitude?
5. Why does the Wind column in the Pilot Log not show the same METAR Wind data that the Airfields tab does, assuming I am flying direct from one airport to another?
6. Where can I see the Heading in degrees for runways? It doesn't appear to be shown on anywhere except the AIP charts.

Thanks for replying fingertrouble, much appreciated.
While I realise that I am using a flight simulator, I still aim for realism so it's good to understand how things work with SD.
Re: 3, I have got better at planning over the last 2 weeks, this isn't my first rodeo but I did need to get back into the saddle again, so completely understand why this isn't needed. I also have a TOD marker on my GTNXi 750 unit, so it's not necessary, I also calculate my descent, like any real pilot!
I was asking about the altitude change but realised after reading your reply that you're right and it's totally not necessary, the direction remains the same!
Thank you for your help and advice, fly safe!

I think this is a great idea - a popup or something would be very helpful from time to time.
