The Time Signature actually has nothing to do with the BPM of the song. Generally, at the start of the song, there will be a word written right above the first measure, like 'Vivace', 'Allegro', 'Lively', or something similar. This will give you a rough idea of the song's tempo, though the exact BPM is rarely specified.

So, if a song is Vivace, it's quite lively and fast, so you'd have a high BPM (Wikipedia says about 140 BPM). But Andante is a mild, but not quite slow, tempo, somewhere from the mid-70s to 100 (again, info from Wikipedia).

To get back on topic, it's a cool app, though I probably won't use it. I'm not much of a metronome user myself.
