Hmm. Can someone explain why there's no search function and the zoom only goes out to maplevel 16, meaning it's absolutely impossible to use without transmitting GPS info (and also effectively impossible to make edits on a place you were a day or two ago but no longer are nearby)?

It's one app, not everything for everyone. To make a great app, they have to focus on a few use cases. Luckily, it's not the only app for editing OSM.

In the 3.0 version (out in a week, beta already on the github) you can zoom out to level 4 I think. And searching is on the roadmap.
