Pro
Fast and smooth
It is a software focused on consumption and not in editing PDF (yes, you can accentuate highlight, draw shapes and sign). They managed to build a nice looking efficient product in which they propose to do.

Con
Expensive for what it offers
It is an item that improves aspects of PDF reading (which is free: Preview) but lacks professional features that other similar software has.

Collaboration over network (although limited)
It is possible to connect multiple Jarnal clients to a single Jarnal server for collaboration on the same document. However, only one person can make changes at a time.

Con
Some actions are not intuitive
Opening a PDF into Jarnal is not intuitive. The only way I found is by using the supplied shell script. I could not find how to do it from within the UI.
