    Good app. Some feedback -

    I'd like to see native Apple sign-in, as opposed to via a WebView. When I used the WebView, the password text box was obscured and fiddly to fill in.

    There should be an easier way to dismiss something I've clicked on, than having to tap "uh..." and then dismiss two dialog boxes.

    Things that I've submitted (e.g. house numbers) should be visible on the map, to visually show my contribution progress (even if pending review or whatever). At present my contributions just disappear into the void.

    Satellite overlay would be very useful to correlate houses.

    Seeing some indication of other recent local contributions would be nice, to make the app feel more alive.

      edits are immediately applied to live database (with delay if you have chose to do so or internet connection is not available). Once a minute update is published to data consumers.

      if you want to see house numbers you can enable house number overlay (left circle in top right, select blueish icon with address label next to it)

      and why it is not visible immediately on background map? because it is also OSM data, but processed OSM data and updates with delay

      (why processed? because globe-spanning map requires some simplification, rendering from raw OSM data is infeasible on a phone)
