Registered in 2018 for reasons I can't remember but didn't do much. Then about 2 weeks ago someone told me about StreetComplete and I haven't been able to stop contributing since.

Are there other such good apps that can assist in contributing to OSM?

StreetComplete is by far the most accessible way to get into OSM, in my opinion. It's like a gateway drug, because eventually you find something missing that you can't add with StreetComplete and then you begrudgingly open iD on your computer, find out how easy it is, and the rest is history.
