I recently moved to Amsterdam and I find Google maps biking directions are often wrong or just a bit worse than organic maps. But also when organic maps it wrong (like one time it though there was a nice connecting sidewalk that no longer existed) it was super easy to go edit on OSM and next time I'll get the right directions.

My one wish was the OSM had a great app for discovering POI or reviews. Like something that can show me all the bookstores around but with a little extra human touch on if it's nice to sit at or mostly used books or something like this.

Here you go: https://mapcomplete.org/shops.html?z=12.2&lat=52.36511&lon=4...

Note: it takes a little while to load all of Amsterdam.

When did you last refresh your data? It seems at least a year out of date compared to OSM as there are shops I've added that aren't showing.

Confirming the outdated map data lacking many changes that are present in OSM.
