Just out of curiosity: what would be the use of using these apps with AFS2? Not that I can, because I am using a Rift, but I am just curious.

With Avare, you use real aviation charts and airport plates rather than Aerofly's simplified navigation. Increased realism and challenge.
It is nice having SkyVector open on an iPad, the entered route can be open and an approach plate can be shown as an insert. It is great using the SkyVector map to follow the chosen track, monitor flight progress and identify many otherwise missable landmarks. The New York scenery is full of gems that are depicted on the local New York map, an example is the railway yards inland of the Coney Island park.
Another cool feature is zooming in on Foreflight and having the airport diagram with all taxiways labeled. The positioning is spot on and so far all airports that I've been to are done perfectly in Aerofly. I'm loving this sim.

One very good reason for connecting one's real flight app to a sim is practising. You can safely test any feature, check new releases, try different settings, practice gestures, keep up-to-date with your app in real life conditions without endangering anybody.
In real flight, I like to keep actions on my iPad mini to the minimum level, no need to search, no need to monopolise mental resources trying to figure out how to handle this new feature, etc.
