The "gotcha" is that they take care of your data connection. Last I looked, there was no way to get it to work without their hosted services. It may be possible to hack it / reverse-engineer it, but that sounds like a waste of time. I guess if you are OK with trusting them with handing the networking / cloud storage part, it's not actually a gotcha. But I wouldn't use it, because I would want to be able to make it connect to a backend that I wrote, running in my house, not in their cloud.
