How does this compare to OsmAnd, which is what I currently use?

Isn't OsmAnd primarily a navigation app?

StreetComplete is an app that gives you tasks to complete, like "Does the bus stop have a light? Can blind people use the cross walk? What's the house number? How many bikes can use the bike parking lot?"

It's a bit like Pokemon Go, but without a for profit company behind it and the result helps other people.

Try it out... It's free.

Can recc Street Complete as well, so much fun. I do use Osmand to add cafes or websites to places, works quite ok for that as well.

Well, I am convinced. Thanks for explaining the difference. I usually use the app for navigation and then add spots that I see are missing when I get home on the website.
