Cons
Con Dashboard is too static and not that useful for a small team or single users
There is no way to customize the dashboard, on top of this the info provided is all but useless on small teams or with single users. Basically it should allow the user to customize to their experience, but sadly does not do so.
Con OSX and iOS only
No Windows, Linux or Android versions are available. Which is pretty limiting for those not in the Apple ecosystem.
