Thanks for this application, I'm on my 70th day today and I find it very useful and engaging.

Problem

The "Map with StreetComplete" task indicates:

If your phone is an iPhone, bad luck. For Android, install the StreetComplete application and do a few tasks. They really take a second each.

I find this task's language very discouraging. I know it's a level 3 task, but it's possible that a user could have reached that level without knowing they can submit any edit they did. For such a user with iPhone, this means the end of their streak. They could simply feel disappointed and finish their streak.

Possible solution

I know that it's not a replacement and it serves ads, but to keep this task it may be a good idea to add maps.me as an alternative to StreetComplete. I am not a copywriter but something along these lines looks better to me:

For Android, install the StreetComplete application and do a few tasks. They really take a second each. If you are an iPhone user, use maps.me to add some missing features.

Or there could be other better ideas. But I definitely think the copy should change.

For the record, OSM Streak does not require you to do exactly the task it offers. The idea is that you make any change to the map and then click a button. A task just gives you an extra point, a value of which diminishes with a long streak.
