Cool! I'm only (randomly) boosting those that catch my eyes, mainly street art, and other interesting objects, and hopefully, get more people interested.

I also share the #OsmApp URL, because by design, it will show at least one of the associated images of an element.

@MapAmore @vespucci_editor at least for now (only 90min usage time). Might need to explore more of the in's and out's of the app to have a final opinion.

Wasn't familiar with #OSMapp will test it out next.

There are some other apps I would like to test, though they aren't yet available in my eyes, either via the web or on #fdroid.

@barefootstache @vespucci_editor

Are you qualifying that statement with better than #idEditor **on mobile**, for power users? 😁

I found that for many casual OSM users, with simple needs (editing attributes, adding POIs) they actually find #OSMapp more usable.

Wondering what app in the #OpenStreetMap ecosystem to recommend, as altenative to Google Maps>

Intuitive app with map navigation, no user tracking, no ads:
*#OrganicMaps

Curious about OSM? Occasional map user, don't want to install anything?
* #OSMapp
* #QwantMaps

Mobile Editors
* #vespucci (Android) - power editing on the go
* #GoMap! (iOS) - intuitive editor
* #StreetComplete - gamified approach to OSM editing.
* #EveryDoor simple POI editor.
* #OSMapp (anonymous "editing" with notes)

@simon @vespucci_editor

That is true @simon

If I'm bothered enough to edit something non-trivial on mobile, I do it with #vespucci , on a tablet with a keyboard and a mouse.

Otherwise, on anything smaller than a tablet, I'm pretty having with #OSMapp.

The best thing I like about #Qwant is that routing (foot, bike, car) is available to users, something you will miss from #OSMapp.

Knowing this is possible, I hope that OSMapp can do in future versions.

Both are great for casual users, but if routing is essential, go for #Qwant. but #OSMapp looks a teeny-bit more user-friendly when editing from a mobile.

Of course, nothing stops you from having both, since they're pretty light on your system.

If you do have an #OpenStreetMap account, #OSMapp will let you edit features with it's built-in POI editor. #Qwant offers editing indirectly, by sending you to standard OSM editors.

Two great examples of #webapps that uses #OpenStreetMap comes to mind: #OSMapp and #Qwant

You can "install" these in your mobile device, but they are apps that run in your browser. Not a separate app. They only work online, but probably not an issue for casual users.

Both apps offer beautiful map layers. None of them require an #OpenStreetMap account.

With #OSMapp you may still "edit" a feature without an account, but your changes are recorded as notes, while #Qwant uses OSM editors.

Totally surprised by the amount of reactions to a post [0] I made about #OsmAnd yesterday. 😮

I didn't know #OsmAnd was *that* popular. 🤪

#OsmAnd remains a favorite, but other interesting #OpenStreetMap data consumers are: #MagicEarth , #OrganicMaps.

There's also #OSMapp -- a web app, so there's nothing to install, -- but without any routing abilities.

This #osmAPP is really growing it's appeal for me. The built-in editor seems ideal for simple edits, that a lot of people with one-off edits do (e.g editing businesses, or POIs)

I used to push for #onosm.org , or
#osmybiz.osm.ch, but this now appears to be a more user-friendly option, without asking the end-user to invest in learning a mainstream #OpenStreetMap editor.

It uses "Edit Place" (sic) for every feature you can edit. Perhaps, a generic "Edit feature" or "Edit this" is better?

So, it looks like #OsmAPP renders valid image=* URLs correctly! :party_parrot:

Here's an example, a #kakampink mural updated via a #MapComplete theme #MAPinkMurals : https://pietervdvn.github.io/mc/develop/theme.html?background=CartoDB.Positron&userlayout=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.githubusercontent.com%2Fgovvin%2F50944c3155a0f714e642ac43a9e3ec1a%2Fraw%2F20bc65fb1f10f2c692d75facf55a00b79f3a9904%2Fmc-MAPinkMurals-v1.json

You can add more by logging-in with an #OpenStreetMap account.

Somehow stumbled on #OsmApp , calling itself a "universal OpenStreetMap app" that looks very good for casual , everyday use of OSM on mobiles.

Pros - clean UI, vector tiles from #maptiler, search-as-you-type queries, PWA/multi-platform, custom layers
Cons - no routing, #idEditor

Users can leave OSM notes for issues or feedback, without a user account.

It uses #idEditor for editing but definitely isn't ideal on small screens, but usable in a pinch.
