Just no
I worked with map software for years. Absolutely hate the app. Wants to track a lot more than map usage. Wants health metrics. What looks like a menu at the bottom is ads and more intrusive software. Touted to be a topical map app for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. Wanted to send me to Microsoft ads on my iPhone every time I tried to use the app. If there is a way to import a map I did not find it. I found the app to be the most annoying app I have ever tried.

Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed feedback. HealthKit is optional and is requested only for workout recording; location is used for map position and active navigation. Ad consent is handled through Google’s privacy flow and ATT, and Pro users receive no ads. Version 10.1 also improves permission explanations, navigation UI, and ad frequency. We’re sorry the earlier experience did not make those choices clear.
Ads are way too intrusive
Ads that randomly take up the full screen with full volume. Couldn’t even really check the app out because the ads were too many.
Response from developer
We’re sorry the ads prevented you from evaluating the app. Full-screen ads are now frequency-capped and debounced, while banners and other ad surfaces are gated by consent. OpenMaps Pro removes all ads. Version 10.1 further tightens ad behavior and improves the first-use experience.
Bare minimum for a map app
It is the bare minimum for a map app and not worth the ads. Upon opening the app you are presented with 4 buttons and an ad. The buttons just have icons and no description. The 1st button doesn’t seem to do anything. The 2nd button opens a list of osm maps with no way of adding your own. 3rd brings the view to your location. And the 4th is a download for a completely different app. The ad sits under the buttons and I had a popup ad when I tapped the 1st button (maybe that’s all it did). That’s all this app can do.

Open maps
I upgraded to pro for 3 bucks and the colors are fixed!
To get to Pro, I had to search the developers page, and slide to the right.

Use to be the best!
No maps at all now. I think the last update did it.
The menu is almost completely dark. But, if I click around the 7th space down, a map does come up! I have to do this every time, though.

Doesn’t work
Same experience as other reviews here.
Kind of surprised that the rating is being hidden on the search results.

I immediately love it.
Even the color or lack of it it’s the best if you add color just make it so you can do bw as well. I would pay to remove ads but as there is currently and inherently no features it’s just a map. But you can zoom and pan freely I just think it’s great. Relaxes my brain when looking at a digital map. Please let me remove ads or make it that they at least can be minimized. Added functionality in route sharing and overlays perhaps waypoint creation or coordination with. Keep up the work!

Latest update crashes on launch. Awesome app turned terrible

Unusable
Appallingly slow even on an iPad Pro. Tiles refresh on pinch-zoom glacially slow. Any visual cues to switch map views totally absent. Doesn’t say in-app-purchases here but tries to up-well. AVOID.
Awful
I read a review of the Altometer app produced by the same Andrea Piani and found out that you get ads in that application even after paying not to get any ads.
Despite better knowledge I bought here «OpenMaps» and indeed even after paying to get rid of ads, one button remained dedicated to show me disgusting ads.
DO NOT BUY ANY APP FROM THIS PRODUCER.

Useless
It only works in portrait mode and I use my iPad exclusively horizontally.
It doesn't work
It shouldn't be on the app store. I'm reporting it to Apple
No maps
Direct tile access has been stopped. There are now NO maps. Pretty neat for mapping software!
Too many ads!
Deleted the app within minutes of installing.
Support withdrawn for iPhone 5
It was good, but it has been killed off on iPhone 5. (Still works on 5s). No reason given
