Hi JFW
I purchased this one from Pilot Workshops. It’s really good and clear plus the send it as a PDF too.
I have Garmin one on the windows PC, the question is about ipad now….
Why not get the Garmin simulator?

anybody any experience with this? Is is a simulator worth buying or a toy pretending to be a G1000 sim?
The FAA IR manual (downloadable from their site), contains a fair bit on using the G1000.
If you can get your hands on G1000 sim directly from Garmin it would be your best bet. (It’s called Garmin Integrated Flight Deck Trainer)
I have one at home that I got directly from Garmin and that way when you are installing it you can chose from variety type of aircraft. Great tool
I definitely recommend using a combination of the Garmin reference manuals and a simulator (PC Trainer). The more time you spend in front of your computer getting acquainted with the system, the more comfortable you will feel in flight. You don’t want to be scratching your head over the G1000 in IMC with a pitch trim error on the autopilot.
After having flown a few hundred hours with the G1000 on DA40, DA42 and C182, I still occasionally discover new ways of doing things when flying with other pilots, and they something discover a thing or two themselves 
Here you have some general documents. And you can find simulators (trainers) on the Accessories tab of the G1000 product page.
You’re welcome.
PS: Basics are the same but G1000 can be configured differently which has impact on some things.
@jfw I understand that. Point was that you might want to look around for a manual for that specific type you intend to fly. If you have settled on one. Since you never specified which one, you might want to take a look at this. Just select Aviation, then Flight Decks.
