    Its has many awesome features while a free application. However:

    • The fonts scanning is slow.
    • It cannot scan through subfolders. You have to add your fonts folder at a single level where your fonts are present.
    • Every time you click your fonts folder, it will start scanning it again, and some times, the scanning stuck, especially if you have a large number of fonts.

    The ability to organize fonts into folders, and set custom tags on top of that becomes a must-have feature once experienced. The downside for me is performance issues with large collections.
