Push to try, close the laptop, and get on with your day. BuildWatch shows your recent try pushes, what's still running, what went red, and exactly which tests failed, without opening Treeherder in a browser. Open a push and it tells you what happened in one sentence: "One test broke. Nothing here fails on the parent, so it's probably yours." Tap a failure to see the failure lines and the bugs already filed for it, right in the card. A ring of every job shows the whole push at a glance. • Know if it's yours: new failures are separated from ones that also fail on the parent, already seen before, or known intermittents • The failure, not the log: failure lines and matching Bugzilla bugs, inline • When it'll finish: an estimate of when most results will be in, while a push is running • Anyone's pushes: look up a colleague's pushes by email • Treeherder's look: same colours, same words, in light or dark No sign-in and no account: just enter your Mozilla email.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: BuildWatch Moz at daily against Google Play Console's every 6 weeks. BuildWatch Moz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Google Play Console's advantage is ratings volume (199 vs 1) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
