They were thinking of EveryDoor.
There’s also MapComplete, a bit more niche- focused on deep diving in specific themes without having to learn all the specific tagging for that topic.
StreetComplete is an app that gives you tasks to complete, like “Does the bus stop have a light? Can blind people use the cross walk? What’s the house number? How many bikes can use the bike parking lot?”
It’s a bit like Pokemon Go, but without a for profit company behind it and the result helps other people.
Well, I am convinced. Thanks for explaining the difference. I usually use the app for navigation and then add spots that I see are missing when I get home on the website.
My kind of heroes. People who seek to better the world without seeking attention while doing it.
And there’s an app to help contributing to openstreetmap.
Here’s a link to it on f-droid…

Also EveryDoor. Doesn’t look as pretty but you if you read a bit about tags on the osm wiki you can add and edit a lot in this app
Oh, cool. Need to check it. I never heard of it before.
OpenDoor. Noted. Thanks.

How does this compare to OsmAnd, which is what I currently use?
Isn’t OsmAnd primarily a navigation app?

Try it out… It’s free.
Can recc Street Complete as well, so much fun. I do use Osmand to add cafes or websites to places, works quite ok for that as well.
