Two or three years ago, we had problem of lots of bogus "wrong speed limit" notes being added by one particular app. The general result ws that no-one took any notice of the notes from that app. More recently, we have had problems from maps.me, although possibly not for speed limits.

I think it can be quite dangerous to give people apps that fix or note particular problems to people who don't know how to map using the more general tools.

I don't know about your tool, but it is essential that every user has an explicit personal account with OSM, and that they are set up to receive emails if people add changeset comments, or post messages to their OSM account. maps.me has a high incidence of people who seem not to notice changeset comments.

specifically that normal urban roads, even residential ones, are tagged
with "maxspeed:type=nsl_single" when they should not.
