Hello Ivan,

I use a number of apps. I customize my home screen, so it's very fast
to switch between them.

For recording tracks, I use My Tracks (a Google product, very mature).

For recording house numbers I made my own app. (I'm currently adding
150 new addresses each day, nearly a thousand if you count
interpolation)  If you know a little bit java and python, you can
certainly adapt it to recording PoIs:
Source: https://github.com/nroets/KeypadMapper
Documentation: 
http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1385/what-is-the-best-mobile-application-for-large-scale-house-number-collection

And for view the map I use the unreleased (still in development)
version of Gosmore.

Regards,
Nic
