Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.
Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org.
There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

Magic Earth and Organic do not track your location or usage of the app. Both use offline maps so that activity stays local to your device.
Magic Earth uses online maps and is closed source, so it could have code to track users and we wouldn't know.
OsmAnd needs Internet to download maps, other than that it works offline.
You can download maps from Magic Earth and use the app offline. It could have trackers. On the other hand, Osmand is open source and definitely has code to track users.
