With the ripoff Jeppesen pricing policy (having dropped JV2 and Flitemap and screwing everyone into paying for Jeppview 3 / Flitedeck, with extra-ripoff pricing like getting "Europe" but with some central European countries left out from the middle which you have to buy in a separate £400 package) I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth if someone offered me free Jepp approach plates

The advantage of Jepp is that you get a uniform data format, whereas the free plates mentioned in the above posts are a bit weird in places, are usually not designed to be readable when printed in less than A4 (IMV, they were designed to form pages in the national AIPs, not to be useful in the cockpit, believe it or not) and you can get them only for some countries in Europe.
