First, I have tried out a few financial apps in the market, but not come
across this one.
So thanks for bringing the app to my attention. I continuously look at and
evaluate what's out there to better refine what GnucashMobile should be and
should NOT be!

Second, yes, the goals seem very similar for now with only the export
format differing. Both are expense trackers etc.
Thirdly, the GSoC project is the "official" Gnucash app for Android and is
beholden to the community in that sense (this does not mean
design-by-committee).
Fourthly, I would like to see Gnucash for Android grow into a full-fledged
and *easy-to-use* (this is v. important) financial management software for
Android.
This means that although integration with desktop will be present,
eventually users should be happy with only Gnucash for Android (including
tablet support etc)
Fifthly, integration with Gnucash for desktop will continue to be a
priority - through exporting the transactions and whatever schemes we dream
up in the future.

Hope this answers your questions.
