The app can tell you about the system hardware, various components, version of the OS installed, whether it is rooted or has some sort of busybox installed and so on.

The app opens up displaying a summary about your system configuration including the OS version, build number, bootloader, SDK version, kernel version being used, and other such information. You can tap on the menu near the top-left corner and select one of the several categories like devices, processor, batteries, memory and WiFi to see detailed information related to those categories.
