  • Best Map Application

    I delete all other map apps, they either stole personal data or slow and large not battery efficient.
  • Perfect, accurate, private.

    Truly great app. Works offline, saves favorites and locations, shows everything that I need and nothing more. The most truly impressive is that it’s open source, respects your privacy, and doesn’t try to sell you on crazy upgrades or annoying ads.

    I really want to thank the developers and team who make this possible, it’s one of the few apps that I trust.

  • Public transport routes

    Add routers by public transportation (buses, tramways etc.), please.
  • A better version of MAPS.ME

    No ads, no trackers, just fast offline maps. Import tracks and bookmarks in KML/KMZ, offline search, many OpenStreetMap features on the map.
  • A much needed privacy focused navigation app

    In the wake of Big Tech stealing your data left and right, this is a fantastic alternative to Google Maps or Apple Maps in which you can view the source code for yourself and be reasonably assured your data isn’t being sold or used to target ads.

    Need some features similar to Waze to be perfect. Otherwise, 95/100

  • Best general map for offline use

    This app is great, it only uses location services when in use, unlike the most popular alternative. I've found this when trying to find a solution to the above battery draining / privacy issue. Thanks so much for giving us back the best offline map experience.

  • Good, but needs to grow

    This is not a complaint just info others might want to know. I appreciate the people who have put this together!

    When I want directions to the nearest Walmart I’ll type in “Walmart” and the nearest one doesn’t show up, but as soon as I add a “s” (supercenter) “walmart s” it shows up. This happens quite a bit so keep typing the full name and what you’re looking for might show up.

    ETA is way longer than it should be. For example when I put in a route I know takes 45 minutes I will get a ETA of one hour. This happens anytime I use it. Once you start driving big chunks of time will start coming off the ETA. Just know you will be early which is better than late!

    Once you have a destination it works as it should.

    Upd: the app update with search fixes is in review now. Please check if your Walmart search results improved and let us know (ideally via email with some screenshots). Thank you for the feedback. Regarding the search, we are already working on improving it. It would be great if you can send us (or create an issue on our GitHub) more details about 1) your position 2) your visible map screen 3) your downloaded regions, so we can easily test that your issue was fixed. Regarding ETA and routes, please also send us your starting and ending points with real ETA, so we can fix and see that it became better. Current ETA is also not too accurate because we do not collect and use any statistics like large companies.
  • Great

    Best ofline maps app.
    Please add bus relations to the app.
  • Excellent

    By far the best non-Apple and non-Google maps app I've ever found (and I've looked for a while). Considering how much data your map use leaks, it's definitely refreshing to have a privacy-conscious alternative. Thanks to the developers and contributors for making this project available!

  • Great alternative maps

    Coming from Android and been using F-Droid for years, I known this app since then and luckily it available on IOS as well. However for some emergency situation it is mostly impossible to use the app because I never have any luck by searching with address only without tracing the map and manually pin point where it is. But I have no complain though since this is using OSM database. Both Organics Map and OSM created for people and the community. Therefore I would like to contributing by adding, edit places. But the problem is I could not edit the name of a building or add additional tags. Currently only 4 tags available to edit to an empty building which is useless in my opinion - Add a street - Building Number - Zip code - Number of floor I would like to edit the category, name, description and more tags which will definitely make the maps more usable in the future and avoiding using external OSM editors just to adding name and essential information of a place.

    Updated: My fault, I didn't notice there was an option to add place which was put inside the hamburger icon.
