Way overcomplicated. As others have said, it's a 2 stripe test with some optics to read it, bluetooth to transmit it to your phone, a battery to run it, an app to run a 15 min timer and collect all your info for "the government." Well I see a bunch of microchips in there - now I know why there's a shortage. Now that the test is done, I have a new cr2032 battery for other gadgets. And for subsequent tests, I won't use the app... I will swab and check the strip myself.
