Pros
Pro Comfortable when staging line-by-line changes
This feature is superior to the one that is implemented by SourceTree as it does not reset the file scroll view to the top of the file after each stage.
If you do feature-specific commits after some time of development - it's very important to be able to easily compose the commit from different line-based changes.
Pro Can work with private repos, assign 'per-repo' credentials, dark theme, zoom-in/out the GUI, great interface (see below)
Apart from the above I liked a lot the interface idea - combination of graphical representation of merged branches and textual commit details (like e.g. in GitKraken or Sublime Merge).
Pro Branch state icon
You can see for every branch if...
... it has created a tracking reference (pushed at least once)
... it has un-pushed commits
... there are changes on the remote which haven't been pulled yet
... it has lost the tracking reference (very handy: when source branch is deleted after merge you can see that easily).
Cons
Con Requires granting access to your git projects for the developer of the app
Con Requires .NET Framework 4.6 on Windows
Fork apparently requires .NET Framework 4.6 (unknown if it will work with higher versions) and if not present attempts to install it (on the plus side Fork does ask for permission).

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Many cons aren’t true
Many of the reported cons are no longer true and should be deleted.
Con Still a young client, thus not as feature rich
This git GUI client is quite young compared to industry old-timers like git-tower 2 or SourceTree. So it's not as feature rich as you'd like. Still a very capable client for a simple day-to-day work.
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Pro Free (for the moment)
The majority of work on Fork is done in the developers' spare time and, despite requests from the Fork community (who are keen to support the app), the product is still free. The developers are open about the possibility that they might make it a paid app at some point in the future, but the price is expected to be low and it will not be on a subscription basis.
Con Will soon no longer be free according to the site
Under the download button it says "Free, $50 soon".
