EFB for iPad

I'm looking for a good Electronic Flight Bag for my iPad. Its only for Flight Sim however I am starting to have flying lessons and may want to make more use going forward but for now I am after the largest coverage of UK and USA airports Aerodrome, Approach, ILS, STARS, SIDS Charts available on the iPad preferreably as an app. The ones I have come across so far are:-

Apps
----
NavTech iCharts - can't find this application to install. Can anyone point me in the direction of this (can't find it in the app store)?
Jeppensen - need a serial number - how much are these ? I suspect they are expensive
ForeFlight - I have this one and this is very USA based, however you can download PDF charts in the app - Ideally want something that allows downloading of UK charts without having to manually get them

I used to use VATSIM Charts online but this has stopped working for UK since the NATS-UK site changed the links to their charts to randomly generated ones and now the web site can't link to then..

I would like to use Navigraph as they appear to have a large coverage but it is only available as an app on the PC and not the iPad (which I will be using to run FSX so can't really refer to them).. Are they releasing an iPad app? If not is there any slick way to get their charts on an iPad?

I also have PilotWizzPro on the iPhone and I used to be able to get the charts on this however this fails to work now again due to NATS-UK making a change to their site and how the charts are accessed.

I would really appreciate your help in finding a suitable application or method of accessing these..

I look forward to your feedback.

Regards
Mark
