Cons
Con Options menu almost unusable on some high resolution displays
Options menu almost unusable on some high resolution displays, for example Surface Pro 4 2736X1824 and 225% magnification (scaling issues). Interestingly, works ok on external display 3840X2160 with 150% magnification.

Not updated since 2019-3-24. No response from developer. Is the project dead?
Con 30$ price
There's a 30 day no credit card required free trial.
Con Limited Cross-Functionality
There is no web version. You need to install the software if you want to access your asset from an eagle file. Missing an Android/ IOS app.
