From X-Plane Wiki

This is the "big" X-Plane Mobile manual. In addition to introducing the X-Plane Mobile controls, it goes in-depth on X-Plane Trainer, X-Plane 9, X-Plane Extreme, X-Plane Racing, X-Plane Airliner, and other applications for mobile devices.

Because of the uniqueness of the Space Shuttle, Helicopter, and Remote applications, please see their respective manuals instead of this one.

Differences between the same application on different platforms are minimal. For instance, the X-Plane 9 app for iPhone and iPod Touch is identical to X-Plane 9 for Android with respect to the aircraft, flight regions, menus, etc.
