Every stand alone GPS and every software i am aware of has a dedicated hardware or software button "nearest airfield". While in the situation of needing the nearest airfield, i'm not quite sure if I remember the way to this function - not to speak of the inconvenience fo a distressed pilot to tap the correct buttons. At least the ipad mini and ipad offer enough screen estate to put a little button in.
So my suggestion: integrate a small "nrst"-button on the screen in flight mode (either auto detect ipad mini or make its existence configurable) which produces a menue ordered by distance. In the menue give airfield name, distance, bearing
AND
tower frequency.
That would be a perfect addition for me.

Sorry, we're happy with the way we do it at the moment. The function is easily accessible by first opening the menu and then choosing it. There are many quick shortcuts in the SkyDemon user interface, and to display graphical hints for them all would be disastrous for the simple appearance of the software. I believe all shortcuts are called out in the product documentation.
