Cons
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 Warm-up and cool-down time are included in overall pace

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.
Con No support for Linux
With the new-Bit client, Roblox went out of their way to make it impossible for Linux users.
Con No tutorial system in place to teach new dev's the basics
Con Can only be published on Roblox
You can't export your game to Steam, Epicgames, Snapcrft or Flathub.
Con "Potato Servers"
Roblox Servers aren't that good in performance. Also, a server can officially only handle 100 players at the time. They tried 200 player severs, but abandoned this idea.
Con Players need to be online at all times to play your games
Con Can't selfhost servers
You can only use the Roblox servers.
Con Can't post links in games
The Roblox TOS only allow Links to certain platforms like Guilded.
Con High tax rate
Be ready to give 75% of your earnings to Roblox.
Con Bad moderation system
