## Review summary

Users value Usage - Device Monitor for its broad, useful system metrics and cross-device syncing, with a customizable UI. Recurrent drawbacks include costly paywalls locking core features, data inaccuracies or broken widgets, and a cumbersome uninstall/upgrade experience. While many reviewers praise its utility for developers and Mac users, price barriers and reliability issues limit broad adoption.

### Pros

- Very useful, comprehensive system monitoring across CPU temperature, RAM, disk usage, and network.
- Syncs across devices (iCloud/SetApp), allowing you to monitor all devices from any device.
- Customizable UI with themes and a wide range of gauges (including VPN indicator and resource usage).
- Widely recommended and valued by developers and power users.
- Broad feature set that covers multiple metrics and indicators.

### Cons

- Core features and unlockable options are behind a premium paywall, leading to price concerns.
- Some readings are inaccurate or unreliable (e.g., CPU temps, fan data) and certain widgets fail.
- Uninstaller is lacking and can leave behind files/directories requiring manual cleanup.
- User experience is cluttered by greyed-out pro features and upgrade prompts.
- License/feature portability across devices can be confusing or inconsistent.
