I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as "bike-friendly" isn't as intuitive as one would hope (am I "adding" a road even though it's technically there or reporting "wrong info" piece by piece?)

For me, OSMAnd~ epitomizes FOSS: Can do literally everything, privacy friendly, completely offline, but incredibly ugly, and with a UX so horrible it keeps everyone but the idealists away.

I've been using the app for hiking for years and I still constantly find myself looking for the right menus or the back button behaving in unexpected ways. The search function is also basically unusable.
