I've been using Maps.me myself and find it easy to add shops - although
I'm missing many presets (I change them when I come home to the right
one but other users will not do that generally).
Maps.me was perfect for one activity that is usually painful - updating
shops inside Iceland's largest mall. Several had shut down and others
opened and updating it as I walked past each one in Maps.me was very
easy to do - for those that had shut down I modified the name to make it
clear and then deleted node at home.

It would be nice if there was a power-user setting on it - perhaps
unlockable elsewhere (or based on edit # in OSM or something using
non-Maps.me editors) so novice users can't wreak more havoc.

I've been editing in JOSM for years and just started editing with
Maps.me, and the fact that it's very fast and easy to make the edit is
the main reason I have. If I walk past a shop, it's very easy to add
it straight through the app, vs making a note and then spending time
back home converting that note into mapping in JOSM.
The down side of course is that the Maps.me data isn't updated very
frequently so I might be duplicating data which has been added after
Maps.me last generated the data extracts, or potentially already in
OSM but Maps.me wasn't rendering it (so I thought it didn't exist). I
think this is something Maps.me should address that if it finds a
similar tag nearby which was created at a time after your local
offline data and if so let you know about it before uploading.
It's also frustrating that I can't add key=value tags, as an expert
user this would be a handy option.
