Where can I quickly find the frequencies?

I only notice some of SD's behavior when I am in the air and flying.
Especially in the very complex Italian airspace, it is often necessary to reach the responsible ATC very quickly.
I therefore always try to be a little ahead of my aircraft and already set the next frequencies on the radio. 
Unfortunately, I often do not get the necessary frequencies (e.g. radar or approach frequencies) when tapping the airspace ahead of me, but only an info frequency. 
The info frequencies are chronically overloaded in Italy and you can hardly get through to the controller. Why are more frequencies not displayed? Not even when selecting the "Radio" button?
Example: Take the VFR reporting point "AIXBA" near Verona. This is below the Milano-Mantuova CTA (2500ft - 5500ft) and also below the Verona CTA (5500ft - FL195). When I tap on this point, I only get the frequency of Milano Information (124.925) and the monitor frequency for the TMZ, without any further information as to which ATC unit this frequency belongs. However, if I tap and hold my finger on Verona/Villafranca Airport right next to AIXBA, I get all frequencies, including the one that can give me a "clearance" to fly through the airspace above AIXBA (Milano Radar). Milano Information itself does not give any clearances.
Have I overlooked something? Especially if you are traveling a bit faster, such information must be available long "before" you reach the next or the next but one airspace!

What is your opinion on this?

The Radio tab did used to work that way, including the frequencies of all nearby airfields. The trouble was, there could easily be 20-30 nearby airfields, so it ended up being more difficult finding the one you wanted, than simply tapping it on the map.
