I have been using StreetComplete on Android thanks to a comment here some weeks ago. This is a really great tool, the barrier to contribute is brought to nearly zero.
The only one thing missing for me is a small history of my past contributions. At some point, I made a mistake and entered the wrong information (nothing terrible, the surface of a walkway, it was 30% one surface, 70% another, I gave the 30% value instead of what I think 70% would be better). I would have been glad to be able to quickly "revert" this contribution.
If you go to the OSM website, you can sort of get list of all your modification by date in your profile: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/YOUR_USERNAME" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/YOUR_USERNAME
As someone who has enjoyed playing GeoGuessr-like games in the past, I find it a bit fun to enter/guess a completely random username and see what edits it has made. Interestingly, quite a few of them are concentrated in the Germany/Switzerland/Austria region (the US is popular too)
Edit: I had no idea that <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/history" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/history shows a list of the most recent changes in a sidebar, and there seems to be a similar trend too in terms of where OpenStreetMap is edited most often.
If you like this kind of thing, <a href="https://osmstats.neis-one.org/" rel="nofollow">https://osmstats.neis-one.org/ has a lot more stats on edits.

You can actually split the road into multiple segments and answer each separately if you don't mind the extra effort. I think there should be something like "differs along the way" button which then asks you to pick a point where to cut.

But else, a really great tool.

(It only shows edits made in the last 24 hours IIRC, but this limit is chosen quite arbitrarily. If there is a use case for it, it can be extended.)
