This phone app is great for a couple of reasons, the first being the entertainment you can find during day-to-day adult tasks or if you want just to have a socially distant date where you drive around and do quests for the night.
The second reason is that it gives everyone the chance to contribute to open source, no matter how small the experience. This can open the door for many people to discover a new world they didn’t know existed. While many other apps work with OSM, this one is the most entertaining and gives you something new to do while you’re out and about for the day.

You can update the details of existing entities with ease.

YOU CAN’T ADD ANY PLACE OR STREET OR “THINGS”.
I use OSM Go! to add new features and it complements StreetComplete very well.
I prefer the official site.
I prefer iD as well but it’s not suited for mobile. When out surveying both StreetComplete and OSM Go! are critical for me.
Go Map!! is a similar app for iOS (to OSM Go!)
It’s more there to fill in some missing details, not to fully edit OSM.
