Cons
- The software is still under development which could potentially lead to some instability issues or unanticipated bugs.
- Some users have reported that the application doesn't always convert all Flash content properly.
- You need to delete Adobe Flash Player from your computer before installing Ruffle, which may be an inconvenient extra step for some users.
- While it supports .SWF files and can run different commands smoothly, its ease-of-use might get affected for novice users unfamiliar with these aspects of software operation.
- Despite being secure and easy-to-use, it doesn't require any additional configurations - this lack of customization options might limit certain user preferences or requirements.
