How does it compare to other apps ("watch accuracy meter" for example) on android?

I have this in open beta on Android right now so you're welcome to give it a shot and let me know :)

One difference is cost. I know that mine is lower cost, and is a one time unlock -- no subscription. So there's that. I'm also therefore positioned a little bit more towards the casual user, I prioritize speed of completion which means I need high confidence in a good signal quickly and don't hesitate to cancel mid-flow.

I think one thing alternatives offer is the ability to run for longer -- like a 10 minute check for instance. There are marginal gains in precision for every additional second, but they seem to diminish pretty quickly past 30 secs or so. But that's one difference I'm aware of.
