If you're like me and tech adverse, the app dumbs it all down for you. I'm not sure how notifications work for you now, but I get push (?) notifications with the app, which I like.
Also, all the points already listed above.
Con- almost every update there is a glitch, but I always email them, they are always quick to respond and remedy within a couple of days.
