I don't think this exists as such.

The only way to get approach plates in Europe is to buy a Jeppview subscription, and that needs a windoze/80x86 machine to run on. You can do this with any windoze-running tablet computer (this one looks interesting, though not really sunlight readable) but it won't be cheap - about £2000 just for Jeppview Europe and the computer is on top of that. That will come with FliteDeck which gives you a rather crude but functional moving map display, over enroute and terminal charts (not SIDs/STARs as those are not drawn to scale).

Don't get confused by American-market-only products which show the free U.S. charts. None of them work in Europe where Jeppesen have a monopoly on usable terminal charts.
