When editing #OpenStreetMap on the go, @everydoor is my hands-down favorite, but I’d hesitate recommending it for more new mappers.
I’ve been playing with #OsmGo just now, and really like how easy it is, maybe even for new contributors.
Plus, it’s a progressive web app that runs in a browser, or installable in your device: https://osmgo.com , so this also seems to be a great candidate tool to introduce as a friendly editor for @openstreetmap mapping parties for new users.

@beta_tester thanks, I sometimes use the #SCEE fork, aka the “Expert Edition”, but not #StreetComplete

I use @openstreetmap a lot, via #OSMAnd+, and I’d love to give back to the map commons. The biggest problems I see are not with the basic data (streets etc), since the NZ govt’s own map data is released under CC license, and updates to it are quickly imported into #OSM.Rather what I see is outdated info about what can be found at a given address. Any advice of helping to update that kind of data? Is it part of OSM or other data commons used by OSMAnd+?
POIs in general are hard to maintain. Even Big G is struggling with that on their maps.
Theme-specific POIs are probably slightly better, when there are interested parties who are keen to maintain them, or keep them up-to-date.
If you don’t like to map them directly yourself, when you’re on site, then you’re next bet is to use fresh (and compatible) ground imagery, to map them when you can.

> If you don’t like to map them directly yourself, when you’re on siteI have ADHD. If I can’t do it right away when I notice the problem, I’m unlikely to remember. So what I need is an Android app that makes it quick and easy to submit an update (with appropriate license) whenever I notice a discrepancy.
@strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor Have you tried https://mapcomplete.org already?

@glowl
> SCEE (Street complete Extended Edition) that allows for a lot more tags to be edited and some more nifty customization optionsThis sounds powerful. Would you recommend it for a beginner?

@glowl
> if you are willing to do a bit of reading in the wiki, i like the editing plugin for OsmAndThanks, I’ll have a look. Having editing it in the map app I already use sounds good.

The only problem I have with OSMGo is that when adding a crossing the software doesn’t merge it with a nearby way (as opposed to EveryDoor). Otherwise it’s a great app.
@Mannivu
And EveryDoor has an existing issue with certain features (e.g. memorial plaques) getting unwantedly snapped on nearby buildings.I didn’t know that, but I’ve never mapped those.
For beginners, there is also https://MapComplete.org
