As someone who recently jumped ship from FreedomDroid to WalledGardenOS, is there any similar apps for iOS? There is bunch of suggestions over at https://learnosm.org/en/mobile-mapping/ but seemingly nothing as simple as StreetComplete
Thanks for the suggestion! Go Map!! is more of a fully fledged editor though and will be almost impossible for a "normal" user to use without existing knowledge of mapping tools or similar paradigms. What I love about StreetComplete is the almost wizard-like experience that allows people to just pick up the app and start contributing without doing any prior reading or understanding.
I mean, it’s not google maps asking you to add the opening hours, but even though I had no experience with any mapping software before it was fairly obvious where the streets and buildings should go :P
The recommended tags that have autocomplete stuff are pretty much always good enough.
I agree with you that it would be cool to have some piece of software that would just recommend improvements though.
It seems from the way you worded that that you actually preferred Android for the freedom aspect (I do as well). Why did you jump ship, if I may ask?
(I understand wanting to use new iOS-only apps like Clubhouse, and for that I just have a really old test iPhone that i got second hand that I use just for that purpose only until those apps come out with Android versions.)
Was a loyal Moto G user until also those phones got bigger. In the end, found no smaller phones with good hardware. Either large displays and good specs, or smaller displays and shitty specs. So when buying a new phone and holding the iPhone 12 Mini in my hand, it fit much better. Thought I'm should give iOS a try and compare it. I don't think I miss the freedom aspect as much as I miss the UX of Android. iOS has so many glaring UX issues and UI bugs that I'm really questioning how people came to hail Apple for their UX.
The assigned names was mostly tongue in cheek but also of course a bit true :) It's all trade-offs in the end anyway.
Last time I used an iPhone and took a picture and it didn't show up in the "Files" app. WTF? Reminds me of the times when Apple measured hard drive capacities in "songs" instead of GB.
This isn't poor UX, it's just preferences and assumptions on the part of the user. There's an app called "Photos". It's where Photos go. I'd say UXs don't get much simpler than that.
The majority of users don't think in terms of files, and I'd say a significant fraction don't even know what a "file" is.
