Hi Krishna,
Wikimedia Commons app crashes a lot and it requires huge amount of
patience to upload image there sometimes, that's why it is not suitable for
the competition. Also, as Philip pointed out it does not prefill data.
As I requested earlier in the help desk, it would be better if WLM
international team could invest resources to develop separate WLM focused
app.

Hi Krishna,
which data is this based on and how will the campaign data be filled
from the android app? As far as I'm aware, there's no automatism to prefill
said data and it would be quite an additional burden on volunteers to have
to sift through pictures uploaded via the app that are missing categories
and descriptions that are otherwise prefilled.
If the source used is indeed Wikidata, at least in Austria that data
hasn't been accurate ever since Wikimania Montreal.
BR,
Philip
