Requires no additional apps unlike the upstream version.
Doesn't support writing to external SD cards without a complicated workaround (moving all your files inside the app's Android folder on the external SD card??)
Other apps have no problem with writing to any folder on the external SD card, after asking permission, but Syncthing cannot for some reason, so it's a useless app. What good is a syncing app that can't sync?
On the contrary one could think that this very (and actually quite simple to use) workaround is the real deal. With it you can sync in read / write mode from an Android mobile phone whose internal storage can't cope with all your data but has an external sd card slot. And even on an older phone such as a Samsung S7 edge, with a plain Class10 sdcard, modest writing speeds still make it quite usable and reliable as a system. All in all imho a crucial addition to the standard Syncthing Android wrapper.
It works better on Huawei devices compared to the original Syncthing
