I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

Can I throw in that once you get your stride with Streetcomplete you'll love Every Door where you can add Shops and features pretty easily. They really complement each other.

    The thing I like about mapcomplete is the ability to add photos and reviews for Bars and restaurants. that's really good.

    I find each application has its niche and I switch between them depending whether Im walking around or filling.in details.

    Thank you for the tip. Installed.

    Ta add another one: StreetMeasure. But I think that will be suggested in SC if you don't have it installed?

    Yes .. StreetMeaure is very useful - Though I'd prefer it to be available from F-droid - I wonder why its not? Same developer right?

    I looked it up in F-Droid. It is only available in the IzzyOnDroid repo. StreetMeasure relies on ARCode and the Google Play Services for AR, so it is against F-Droids inclusion policy.

    i wondered something like that. Its a useful tool Obviously prefer not to be using Google Play Services but compromise makes the world go round. Better that than using Google Maps all the time.
