SkyDemon is one of the most popular EFB apps for VFR flying in the UK. It has the capability of working with a number of portable EC devices, however some additional steps are required to ensure traffic is displayed correctly.
To do so – enable traffic in the app settings and also enable “display callsign”. This way you will be able to distinguish traffic received via TIS-B due to # sign in front of the callsign. See images below for further guidance.Note:
