Cons
Con Confusing UI
Con No integration with FitBit (or any other option to export data)
Con Intervals are not supported in stopwatch mode
Since this allows both "GPS" and "stopwatch" mode, and tracking several sports, it should allow you to use intervals in stopwatch mode. I would like to use intervals for treadmill running or stationary bicycle.
Con Warm-up and cool-down time are included in overall pace
Warm up and cool down are options you can toggle for a run. If you toggle them on, those are included in your overall pace calculation, but they are.

Con Charts don't overlay
While charts do exist for pace, elevation, and cadence, they're all independent graphs. It would be nice to see pace overlaid with elevation, as some other apps do.
Con Does not announce intervals correctly when also using audio stats
If you are using both intervals and audio stats, and then happen to occur at the same time, the stats are announced first, and then your interval announcement after. You end up starting your interval late, even though it's tracking that interval already.
Con GPS sometimes fails
The GPS sometimes fails on devices that rely on WIFI for GPS (Apple ipod touch). However, GPS can be fixed manually later.
Con Slow and heavy for old smartphones
Con Does not announce split pace properly when using kilometers
Con Doesn't optimize for WGS-84 GPS on map
The track path draw on map is wrong cause WGS-84 GPS format.
