Medium just smashed me to pieces though, playing black and blitz style but tbh doubt much changes if I slow down. Tactics seemed to be the main difference.

Thanks for linking this app, very fun (and frustrating).
I got out my chess clock and played a 5'3'' blitz match of ten games, I won 2 and lost 8. Ouch. I played my normal go for broke style.
I decided to play a second ten game match playing closed positions and positional chess and fared much better, 4 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws. I feel I played great and am definitely an underdog in blitz to this monster. My blitz rating on Playchess averages around 2100. Since I prefer sharp lines with sacrifices, I'm sticking to human opponents.
I think it's safe to say this app is at least 2100 in blitz. In the four long games I played, it doesn't appear to think on my time, making it not very strong.

tired, playing blitz but thnking in dificult spots: -2+1=1
lightning couple days ago, busted: -3+0=1 i think.
mmm better than me but definitely less than 2200. I would guess 2150 +/-40.

In blitz 2400-2500. You guys are too strong to not realize that.
