Why on Earth would anyone use an app for this when mobile browsers work perfectly well for adding audio to Common Voice?

We could possibly give the developer the benefit of the doubt that they're not doing anything inappropriate with the data but frankly why pass your data through a third party that's not part of the project.

And why install an app requiring access to your shared local storage? The GitHub repo claims the website an animations are slow which sounds like BS to me. It works fine on a five year old phone I use for submitting.

Just contribute here if you're so inclined, much more sensible:

The app has a few nice features the website doesn't have, such as changing the speed during validation. It always surprises me as well, but many people hate to use web apps on mobile. I don't really know why, they simply ask for an app and refuse to use a browser.

because mozilla fired all the cv team, and the app is under active development?
