ok for me : useful
The pro version is not expensive and can be used on multiple websites... Be careful before deleting cron jobs that run, while the plugins are uninstalled. The plugins names is clearly visible. useful for me

Nothing for free
You need to purchase "pro" version to do the basic functions. Useless plugin.

WOT!
Waste of time! It shows you the cron jobs, and you can delete them, but it won't tell you what plugin they are associated with. If you want anything more than to simply view crons, then you have to purchase the premium version. The plugin WP Control does everything the free version of this plugin does, plus shows you what plugin/theme/etc. the cron event is associated with. This plugin is no more than a schill to purchase the pro version.

Needed to clear old WP Chrons
This was not helpful in clearing old Wordpress chrons that were being reported as "scheduled tasks which are overdue". That was all I needed it for, to be able to even see them I was being asked to purchase Premium, even though it was inexpensive at $8USD I did not feel justified to purchase.
