Far, far more efficient. Streetcomplete requires you to draw buildings. While it recently added increment features, this app has increment features FOR BOTH SIDES of the road, so you can collect both sides at the same time (and it will remember your previous housenumber which you can easily increment).

Furthermore, if the street folloes a increment pattern ( for example housenums go up by 2 each time), then you set that increment and long press the arrow to automatically add an address to the map. For examplr, if you had judt added housenumber "24" on left side of road then long pressing on the left arrow will qutomatically add "26".

This could be really, really efficient for adding numbers on streets with a predictable housenumber pattern.

In the future I also want to support addr:interpolation as well.
