Love me some street complete! It's a great way for me to get out of the house and do stuff even when places are closed, since I'm not awake during the day
I started to use it, IT'S AMAZING! HOLY.. Something to do while walking is to observe and ask around, which I want to do, without having no reason to do y'know.
When I get asked why, I just say I'm just confirming what ~~Google Maps~~ said to me (which tbf can be outdated) so I get updated!
I like it, especially in my city and region where I haven't heard of major OSM users or editors..
Thank you so much for recommending this!

My exact reaction to trying it! I wish I had known about this so much sooner.

I've gotten so used to lying or social engineering to maintain my privacy, that it felt weird to be honest about actually contributing to a map and telling people what it is.
Thank you so much for recommending this!
You're welcome! But thank the StreetComplete team for making such a wonderful way to contribute to OSM
For iOS, Go Map!! (source) has a similar quests system. I don't know how well they hold up to StreetComplete though, I've never used the latter.
Also, obligatory https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute!
Used it quite well that I think the local area has mostly dried up on quests. Contributing more either requires being a passenger, or being in another area.
But I also like the feature of it recommending other apps that can be used as well, giving more ways to contribute or use the maps.
I would like to recommend SCEE if you've been using StreetComplete for a while. It offers some advanced features like editing tags, but more importantly some needed QOL improvements like the overlay quick-selector, and GPX notes.
I am on vacation and love to map the undocumented hiking trails. It's so much fun. Pokemon go my ass... This is the real shit.
Take the location limit off. Way too annoying for common OSM updates.
