I kept thinking this was needed. Then it dawned on me. It's appropriate for a number of PillO's posts. And he's somewhere laughing deviously.
 
First, welcome here with us! I will bring the list forward shortly.
Regarding the bridge I would tell you that if your bass has a shallow pitch to the neck you do not need to have the center screw higher than the two outer ones. It's quite possible to to have really low action and the center screw would be quite low. None of my Birds are set up with a higher center screw.

Don't mind the furry tugboat in the background......

This is my 2021 Non Reverse, all my Birds look like this, or lower.

As I said, others will disagree about the position of the center screw. I will say that my problems with the three point have only occurred on Epiphone bolt-ons so that is why I like the center slightly higher.

I think some may need to be set up that way (Higher center screw) based on the neck pitch, most of my Birds are older and have the shallow pitch neck, thus a setup like this:

Is it a paid app?
I think some advanced features (like songs longer than 4 minutes) are paid. The basic functions are free. The only thing I found is the song has to be a file on your phone for the app to work. It won't take YouTube or streaming links, at least not the free version.

Someday, in this brief passage of life
I will still have a Burgundy Mist bass

It was nice to see the color in person; on first pic, the difference between shades is evident over the years. She is 2013.

what’s wrong with an overdrive pedal? you can only do so much with passives (other than completely remove them) and the little diode trick is not really linear meaning the “trip point” is always there….at least when implemented in a (active) pedal, linearizing the gain stages is possible…
