## What is MicBuddy?

MicBuddy is a task workspace for contributors who complete audio data projects on their phone.

Browse available recording, conversation, and annotation projects, review the instructions, and submit your work from one app. MicBuddy helps you keep project tasks, recording status, upload progress, and review feedback organized.

Key features:
- Discover available projects in Square
- Join assigned projects and track your progress
- Complete single-speaker recording tasks with built-in microphone capture
- Join multi-participant conversation sessions with a shared passcode
- Upload recordings reliably, with an upload center for retrying failed submissions
- Review rejected tasks and submit corrected work when a project allows it
- Manage your profile and preferred language

MicBuddy is built for structured data collection workflows. Each project provides its own task instructions, language requirements, and submission rules, so you can focus on completing the work accurately.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.4.9 — 2026-10-19

Networking and stability
- Added a global 30-second timeout to the mobile API request layer; requests
  on a dead network previously hung for 65+ seconds with no feedback (GH#190).
- Task loading paths (Start Annotating / Continue Testing) now surface visible
  errors on transport failures and keep users on the current screen instead of
  failing silently (GH#191, GH#192).
- Fixed the offline "My Projects" screen, which previously showed a silent
  empty list. It now displays a proper network error state with retry
  guidance, synchronized across 7 languages (GH#332).
- Added memory protection for waveform analysis of large WAV files,
  preventing out-of-memory crashes during playback (GH#251).

Multilingual (i18n) quality
- Repaired 34 corrupted Thai strings and added a deterministic codepoint CI
  gate; a second round fixed 7 more corrupted project words and tightened the
  gate to zero tolerance (GH#329; PR #344, #370).
- Project cards and detail pages now display a proper language label (for
  example, Thai) instead of a raw code; price display was normalized
  including zero values; a language field was added to the projects table
  (GH#340; PR #371).
- Backfilled missing translation keys across 6 languages, corrected German
  review-rejected wording, and repaired Thai tone marks and the privacy-notice
  text (GH#255, GH#273, GH#285, GH#289).
- Consolidated i18n: extracted hardcoded strings and audited legacy Thai
  codepoints with byte-level regression locks (GH#277; PR #284, #288).
- Fixed the Profile language selector, which was missing the English option
  and could lock language switching (GH#272).
- Added localized native header titles to the review-rejected page in 7
  languages (GH#248) and localized /annotate fallback copy (PR #354).

Security and polish
- Project landing page links were upgraded to HTTPS (PR #354).

Notes
- Android-only changes in the same window (recording source fallback,
  Android 12+ Bluetooth runtime permission) are excluded from this iOS log.
- Most tags between v1.1.6 and v1.4.6 were web/API deploy anchors with no
  iOS-visible changes; the five nodes carrying real iOS content are v1.1.7,
  v1.3.1, v1.3.5, v1.4.8, and v1.4.9.
- Versioning note: v1.1.5 through v1.4.9 are internal anchor tags created
  automatically on green deploys; the only external release in the window
  was v1.3.9 (web-side items only).
- If the last App Store build predates v1.1.5, also add: automatic audio
  quality check after recording submissions, speaker as the default playback
  route on iOS, button loading states to prevent double-taps, and fixes for
  the application-page picker not opening and for offline submissions giving
  no feedback.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-09-15

What's new:
- Improved Android recording volume, stability, and device compatibility.
- Added recording settings for sample rate, auto gain, noise reduction, and echo cancellation.
- Added account deletion, privacy policy, and About page access.
- Optimized project loading, profile loading, playback analysis, upload reliability, and bottom controls.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-14

No release notes.
