There seems to be an alleged Audacity 2.4 Windows Store version at:
https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NRN7JBJ4NHH
The product page even links to AudaictyTeam.org's privacy policy page. So I am confused if that's the official build or not.
Somehow it looks and smells fishy. Can the Audacity team please confirm or clarify?

Re: Audacity 2.4 Windows Store Version?
It's NOT the official version because it would be 2.4.0. And, people have reported problems with it (although I'm not sure if was 2.4 and I thought they were charging money for it.)
The official version is on fosshub.com (which you can get to from audacityteam.org) and it's now 3.0.0.

It is somewhat misleading or even deceiving as the Privacy Policy link on the product page links to Audacityteam.org
Someone from the Audacity team should report them to the Windows Store for copyright infringement:

It says 2.3.3, and the icon is damaged, but at least it is free. Perhaps they've got built-in spy-ware...
