Also, as I mentioned in my other post, adding POIs and additional tags in some regions’ urban areas is difficult because you don’t want to walk around with your phone out. And the USA makes it challenging to add and update POIs because you often can’t just walk down a street, the sprawl sets everything too far apart for that. The existing mobile editing apps, alas, cannot make up for political failures.
But shops can be added (using shop overlay).
(I am one of people developing StreetComplete)
One thing I ran into is that there are buildings that aren't shown in Street Complete. I tried adding a note but there seems like no way to add them in. If there was some easy way to flag a property as having a new building and relying on desktop users to fill in the details that would be super helpful!
You can install Vespucci to draw buildings directly on smartphone
It lets you add details to objects that already exist in OSM. It looks very polished, has nice map, icons, and this default style of sticking to your actual location like some location based games for crazy people (I'm a former Ingress player, Enlightened FTW).
My neighborhood has all details about building size, roofs, street lights, you know if there are markings on the ground on street crossings (for people with poor vision), each path has clear info of what's it's made of, and stores has open/close hours provided. Super cool, easy to use and has real impact.
