Post iPad EFB update process, your experience

We are changing from a Windows-based to an iPad EFB solution. While this is generally a change for the better, as the iPad is easier to use without keyboard and has more intuitive touch controls, the updating of the various apps feels like a step back. All apps have separate built-in updating functions that all work differently, some requiring the app to remain the active app. The Windows machine had a separate update app that ran on startup and then in the background and ensured all the databases for route manual, documents, performance, W&B, etc. were updated.

My question is to all of you flying with an iPad based EFB: do you use the same ‚distributed‘ updating system or is there a single updating app/process?
