Something is not right about your story because every single pilot I know got paid during breaks in training. One guy had trouble with cockpit access and they paid him the 6 weeks while the FAA sorted it out. It could also be as simple as an HR screw up.

Here are the big points for concern:
1. The rate at which the application burns through battery life. A personal backup battery will become a requirement.
2. The reference to multiple pages for a single approach.
3. The lack of delineation of RNAV v HDG departures without reading the text.
4. The fact that the same bozos who make mistakes in the box (we had a mistake on an IAH arrival recently) now are the ones supplying the charts.
5. We already have a number of deviations. Thus will simply add to that number.
We will just have to wait and see how flying with the charts is. We will get used to the common charts just like everyone knows the mins of the IAH ILS 27 is 290 without even looking at the chart. (Just wait until the GS is out of service).

Also, some of the taxi diagrams barely resemble what they are charting; see IAH west ramp.
