I recommend
- iD for newbie friendly editing,
- StreetComplete Android app for limited but very easy editing
- JOSM for more advanced editing
- Vespucci as a mobile version of JOSM on Android
For Apple mobile devices there is GoMap!! that is described as working well.
iD has a build-in tutorial, and more info at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM has some listed help and tutorials
For StreetComplete see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete and
and its quest list https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete/Quests
Entire StreetComplete tutorial follows:
It is intended to be used as one walks across some place,
with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting marker
allows one to answer a simple question.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!! and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vespucci describes other editors.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editors has listing of editors
I would not recommend QGIS and ArcGis as OSM editors.
I never used them for such purpose and I strongly suspect that
programs intended solely as an OSM editor will be far better
and more people can help in case of a trouble.

I strongly prefer editing on StreetComplete and Vespucci over making notes and
editing at home.
I still use JOSM for more complex edits, tracing aerial imagery. And iD for
quick
fixes based on what I remember and spotted to be wrong.
