Hmm. I dislike that it uploads every thing as a separate change. I much more prefer editing the whole area and saving it as one neat package, rather than posting hundreds of "this is road is made of asphalt" posts.
So it's not for me, but if that helps to make OSM better, I'm all for it!
Maybe I could make a separate account without neat history and from time to time click some icons in the app though. That probably wouldn't bother me as much.
it doesnt close a changeset after every single change, at least it shouldnt. mmv but if I close the app for some time it bundles my changes in one OSM set
No it doesn't close changeset on every change, 30 days ago I added 123 house numbers in my city with streetcomplete and all of them were in the same changeset.
I can confirm that it works even if you only provide it with internet access periodically (e.g. on a wifi-only device).
It actually bundles answers to a certain quest together if I remember correctly. For example, all road surface quests within a certain time (about an hour?) are grouped into one change set. Though if you did one road surface quests and one opening hours quests they would uploaded as two separate change sets.
You can do all of that with this
Yep - been using it for a week or two myself. Nearly 400 points so far!
Just downloaded this today and going nuts making contributions in my neighborhood. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Another recommendation, especially for addresses and points of interest, is https://every-door.app/
It's not as pretty as StreetConplete but it's fine to work with.
I’m still missing this on iOS, we do have “go map!!” Which is great, but that’s a bit of a different kind of app for me.
i use Every Door on ios… its UI is hideous, but very functional
in still pretty new to it all though so it might not be great… better than go map for edits though

I've been using Go Map! but it keeps crashing... Maybe I'll try Streetcomplete if it's on apple.
Very cool, downloaded and will start using It!
I just installed StreetComplete because of your post and it's a lot of fun! I guess I'll be doing this on my walks from now on :-)
