The recent update which re-architected the internal systems was a great improvement for my uses of the app, based on a few minutes of testing at least. Very nice to be able to immediately put in the house number after choosing that a building is a house. - 7876 contributions over the last few years, #19 rank in USA and #248 globally

Just out of curiosity, how quest-less is your vicinity? Because for the village I live in there's almost nothing left by now and I had to resort to micro-mapping street lights, hedges, fences, walls, trees, entrances, building/roof colors and materials, etc. when outside, instead of using StreetComplete. (I'm only #263 in Germany and #714 globally, though.) It's a really great gateway into OSM, I have to admit. Even though my previous work had to do with maps and I've had an OSM account since then, I've never mapped gain after the first few changesets until I found StreetComplete this winter.

  I once added a bench to OSM just to see how the process works, and it all feels pretty tedious, specially when you want to update it in order to add some properties.

    There's the Android app OSM Go! nowadays (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm_Go https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm_Go!), made by a French developer so it might have some local bias, but it's the easiest app I've seen to add point-based POIs, like trash cans, shops, playgrounds, billboards, etc. It's not perfect (some templates miss optional properties), but it enables adding POIs in a few seconds, so you can do it while walking.

      Note that the link is supposed to include the "!". It's at https://osmgo.com https://osmgo.com. This seems to be unrelated to another thing called OSM Go at https://osmgo.org https://osmgo.org, and on the same wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_go https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_go Not confusing at all!

  I have lived in a lot of different places over the past three years so have improved each area as I pass through. Now where I am settled down most of the city's buildings aren't even traced so there is a lot to do. I'm busy with substantial home improvement projects for probably the rest of the year but I will get to it eventually.

  > Just out of curiosity, how quest-less is your vicinity? I have still thousands, maybe tens of thousands quests within walking range. Despite systematic use of StreetComplete for a long time. But I live in a city that is well mapped in OpenStreetMap - Kraków, Poland https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/50.0621/19.9431 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/50.0621/19.9431
