If you’re on an iPhone then “Trails” is very good. Records GPS and one can add waypoints and then export the lot straight to Open Street Map.
https://trails.io/en/ (I’m not a developer of it, just a fan). I agree that it would be awesome to have a walkers app that allows on-the-move edits of OSM data. On the P2 note - Adobe AIR means one can make Android and iOS apps from Actionscript, however I don’t know if P2 would be usable on a phone/tablet as a finger is much less precise than a mouse, although maybe on iPad Pro with the pencil it could work.

To be used something like: User goes for walk and records GPX trace, following this sort of pattern. Each time the type of right of way changes, the user selects a high level type ("Public Footpath", "Public Bridleway" etc in the UK) together with optional surface tags. User can also enter relevant POIs like stiles, gates etc when they are encountered. When user returns home, track simplification algorithm used to make a way from the GPX trace and tags it with the tags equivalent to the ROW type. User downloads data from OSM and algorithms are used to auto-join the user's new ways to existing ways where appropriate (or alternatively, the user does this manually) That's not a million miles from the way that I map right now, albeit without the benefits of an "app" as such: I record a GPS trace (on a Garmin) with numbered waypoints in it. The symbols for the Garmin waypoints "mean" something, so the "boat ramp" symbol means "public right of way". If it's a bridleway I'll add "BR" to the comment on the Garmin. If more text is needed (e.g. the name of a shop I've created a waypoint for) I'll create an line in an email to myself, the start of which is the Garmin waypoint number and the rest of which is the comment. When I get home I'll split the individual traces out programmatically, merge the comments from the email into the GPX file (likewise) and upload to OSM. I'll then edit in OSM using the uploaded trace directly (using P2 - JOSM can't process waypoints in a way that's useful to me). Usually the combination of new GPS trace, previous GPS traces, Bing imagery, OS OpenData StreetView imagery and my recollection is enough to figure out where the path should go, but none of those (unless there are really _lots_ of old GPS traces) are good enough on their own. On an introductory level, I can definitely see the benefits of something that can suggest to people "here are the other attributes of $thing that you've just added", like iD does, and like Kort does/used to do (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kort_Game ).
