What it is

Detect UI blockers on Android apps with a transparent library.

Real use case example

"A founder working on a popular food delivery Android app uses AndroidPerformanceMonitor to catch ANR issues with their ordering feature. They add the detector in their app's main activity and configure it to trigger an alert in Slack when a UI blocking issue is detected. After just one week, their team successfully resolves 20+ issues, resulting in improved user retention and revenue."
