Jeppesen Mobile TC: The World at Your Fingers
Jeppesen wasn't the first to offer an iPad app to the aviation market, but its Mobile TC app was worth the wait.

Jeppesen wasn't the first to offer an iPad app to the aviation market, but its Mobile TC app was worth the wait. Released at the end of last July, heavy downloading of the app caused overload of Jeppesen servers, which the company quickly corrected. 

Mobile TC is a free download from Apple's iTunes store, but the app is useless without a JeppView subscription. The good news is that if you already subscribe to JeppView (version 3.0 or later) or NavSuite, either for a charts database for your cockpit avionics or flight planning software or the new online JeppView system, you don't have to pay extra to get the same charts on your iPad. Subscriptions come with four product serial numbers, and as long as those numbers aren't already being used, the rest are good for populating your iPad and Mobile TC with whatever charts you're already paying for.
