Can you tell us the region you're living in? I'm Europe-based and OSM is good enough for what I need/want, but I also take part in updating/adding to it a lot.

I know that address data is hardly usable in large parts of the OSM world. What iOS app are you using for 'accessing' OSM? From https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_iOS_applic... I suggest https://organicmaps.app/

I’ve used organic maps and Maps.me. I’m in the USA.
I can only say that adding to OSM benefits anyone who's searching for 'common things' that are still missing.

Often it's a long stretch until the map is 'fully usable', but that's the thing when you try to avoid Google (which is my use-case).

And - as I live in Central Europe - OSM is very well usable for me any my use-case.

According to wikipedia, Maps.me is using OpenStreetMap data. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maps.me
All the Apps I linked above (Organicmaps and Maps.me included) use/display OSM data ;)

Organicmaps is a fork of Maps.me, without their new 'wallet' function and (I think) no ads.

Nice, ty, just checking it out and I like it a lot!
