Ratings and reviews

Overall, the app has potential and with the plus(?) extension, it is really useful. In addition to the following, the biggest issue with the app is it's battery usage. However worse, the cloud service never worked for me. I could not register. I recommend everyone trying before buying. I got the monthly subscription because I wanted to use it for a special hike in the South American outdoors... that money was wasted. I had to use komoot...

Works very well for car navigation in Germany, UK & France using the offline maps. (I haven't tried walking or cycling.) Warns you when you exceed the speed limit :-) visually and audibly. EDIT: 6 years after writing my first review and OsmAnd (now plus, the upgrade is worth it) is still my goto offline navigator.

Original post: Blank screen instead of the map on two different smartphones... Reply to comment by developers: Maps have been downloaded by the app right after installation of the app, in our case Spain Valencian... Many thanks for the reply! Update: I'm sure that world map was downloaded after installation of the app, but it was not installed. Map now shows up after downloading the world map. Many thanks!
