Half the services they advertise don't work! They do not respond to ANY emails. It worked half a decade ago and the developers haven't updated it. I even paid to upgrade to the paid version thinking I'd get support. Nope. They suck! Don't waste your time installing.

No real cons, but the migration was a bit disappointing. All my logins were gone and I had to re-authenticate with each service, which with 2FA on is quite a hassle. So if Franz 5 Final could keep the previous auth tokens/cookies, it would make the upgrade smoother.
