This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

How open is this? Can anybody download the data that is collected? Or is this like Waze, which did something similar, then just sold out to Google?

OpenStreetMap has been going for almost 20 years now. It's a very well known open map data platform. Like Wikipedia, anyone can edit OSM map data, and all of the data is freely available for anyone to use.
