Hi everyone. I read some threads where you explain the reason why you don’t want to create an official android app for Common Voice. I’m part of Mozilla Italia and many users ask if exist an android app to contribute. For this reason, I decided to develop an android app (unofficial) for Common Voi…

@Sav22999 Let me say it otherwise: the project could really benefit from external contributions and there are tons of things to improve.

Hello, Thanks @Sav22999 for opening this topic. It seems clear to me that there are a few issues with our mobile version that have lead you to create your own app to solve them. I really appreciate your interest and effort, and since you already have listed in this topic a few of them, it would be…
