An overview of reviews made with MapComplete – 2026 edition

The yearly overview of made reviews is long overdue, so time for an update.

First of all, there are nearly 4700 reviews in https://mangrove.reviews nowadays; generated by around 33 pieces of client software:

(*) The mapcomlete.org domain also includes other domains, e.g. dev.mapcomplete.org and the local-host testing URL

By theme

Of course, I’m mainly interested in the reviews by MapComplete. With what theme were they created?

In line with the analysis of last year, food, shops and pubs are the biggest three. Playgrounds stays on fourth place. However, toilets has rissen to the 5th place. Hotels – a relatively new theme – has been of to a good start as well.

By geography

Just like last year, most of the reviews are in Europe. However, reviews have also appeared in Africa, Japan and Iceland:

In Europe, Flanders is the most active region. This bias is ’cause MapComplete is developed there and somewhat well-known in Flemish area. At the same time, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, … have gotten somewhat dense as well.
