Almost a bait because it requires personnal data
I installed by mistake, intending to use a simple tool to monitor and log WP-Cron activity. It appears, this is now another freemius plugin which seems to me to be a bait, because description and screenshots are not accurate and up to date. To use this plugin is now required to give all your personnal data or to register/subscribe. This shouldn't be required for such limited functionality plugin. An unnecessary and intrusive step for something as simple as viewing cron logs Thankfully, better alternatives exist. Installed by mistake, uninstalling by will.

Not a Cron Status Checker
It does not honor its name, because this plugin only sends you an email if there is a problem with cron execution, but it only does it if cron task is working!! So this tool does not allow you to check if cron task is running at desired interval or many other relevant information. Plus when you enter your email it will be shared with the developer. Pure garbage!

"You cannot delete a plugin while it is active on the main site."
Installed plugin. Didn't get any status info. Decided to use another plugin, but when try to delete "You cannot delete a plugin while it is active on the main site."

Good tool to check WP-cron
This is an easy way to check if WP-cron is enabled and jobs are actually running. Don't let the relatively low number of active installations mislead you, I suspect many people may use this plugin just like I did - install it just to check WP-cron is doing ok, then remove the plugin again. My only criticism is that I had expected to be able to view the WP-cron status on this plugin's settings page, instead I had to look for it in the Dashboard.
