Needed to take a flight south and knew the fire fighting base was very active on the Sherpa fire near Santa Barbara. TFR instantly showed up on WingX and verified depiction was accurate. I've been thinking about getting a GTX 345, so I've been trying Garmin Pilot App as well, to my surprise the TFR did not appear on the map. Two days later still not there. In their defense, on the briefing page it does list the TFR Notam, but doesn't depict it on the screen. Be careful out there, easy to avoid fires, but VIPs are harder to spot and may not be on you moving map.
