I set up S03 to KBDNand iFly gave reasonable time estmate including adjusted fir very short time for nice tailwinds at the suggested 9000 feet.

when I clicked reverse route with the same takeoff time  is showed "estimates exclude winds."

That was resulting in a very seriously underestimated time and fuel estimate as, based on the same winds as the reversed route clearly would be longer and more fuel costly.

i toggled the reverse-route a couple of times and probably clicked on the "estimates exclude winds" and then it finally did show a realistic  extended return flight estimate.

Have I run into a bug ..... or am I misunderstanding some design feature? Or?

this was on the iPad version with AFAIK all uodates current and while having live internet wifi connection.

I think you need to click reverse route, then click to optimize again.
