I encourage everyone to improve OSM and add the not found POIs not only to appear on Organic Maps , to make everyone to have a open database of geolocated information

How would you do that from an Android phone? I've found myself wanting to update OSM/Organic Maps info many times.
The Android app StreetComplete is an excellent start for updating OSM I found. There soon become occasions when you have to bring out the big guns and edit it using the web editor at https://www.openstreetmap.org/ , which is possible to do on a mobile phone if it has a big enough screen, but much easier on a laptop.
From my experience the best one currently is EveryDoor. But even if you just use Organic Maps, it has some basis functionality to add and edit places.

StreetComplete is also great and very beginner friendly, but it is mostly for completing missing information for existing places. However, I think quite recent addition was that now you can actually add new places. Haven't used it much though.

Haven't tried EveryDoor yet. Thank you!
I haven't tried it myself, but I think https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete
