used to be great but now crashes all the time and has popups for purchases I've already made.

Keeps Crashing!
after reading a postive review how it surpasses google maps, I tried it. The reviews FAILED to state that the features require $$. I paid for the lifetime license. I can't figure out the options. I tried the mapping and saw nothing. Only trying it for 2 hours, I requested a refund. Google says it doesn't meet their policy. google maps is my go to app. Bottom line, I wasted 19.95.
I but that app, but cant download from store! Thanks for comfortavle travel :(
on my tablet Osmand is saying "could not draw chosen area" and refuses to draw any map. I have ~40 maps loaded and they normally work fine but not recently. Am sending crash logs. Next: can't email log because it's too large, please advise.
the app sucks. it can't even find basic places.
doesn't connect with GPS locations, I'll try again
using scanned pictire maps are not nice, search very poor, there is no offer of several ways for your desire, wrong own location even on newest phone with high speed inet fully updated app & pro version. I just liked the division & display of the road in lanes
Plz add google search bar option in app so that we can easily find the addresses on map and navigate to it ans me plz
Paid for premium experience and got completely unreliable navigation system. Added destination point and disabled all ferries and toll roads. On google maps shortest route is 40km+, on OsmAnd+ shortest route is 120km. Same settings on both Nav systems. This navigation system is ureliable in Netherlands.
not see addresses. I'm writing a post code and maps do not give me address. rubbish.
Can't find address using postcode
If you import a GPX route there is no way to skip waypoints and it does not reroute if you miss a turn. It's not an option to navigate to nearest point in a track, the software needs to be able to skip a missed waypoint and allow route re calculation?
Ultra slow updates with wrong data from up to 9 years ago. Disappointing.
Tracking nonfuctional on Galaxy Note 8. Power set, fails to record silently.
No easy overview of the route. Way point setting not easy.
My favorite app but the recent version is so slow and constantly crashes. Edit: I filed a bug report. It was marked as fixed but the corresponding nightly build didn't fix the crashing. It even got slower. It's not a good response for a paid/subscription app
After trying the free app I had my doubts about the UI which is extremely detailed and very cluttered with functions and options you're probably never going to need. I then bought the payed version hoping for more ease of use e.g. through user profiles but alas, it was just as cluttered. I reluctantly deleted my high investment from my phone and happily never looked back. My use case is offroad riding with my ktm 690, offroading with my car, hiking. My worst Android app investment ever.
Even with POIs turned off there are now far too many icons on the map. In a town the map becomes unusable because it is so cluttered with them, unless you zoom right in which for me defeats the point of having the map. It also seems to make rendering the map v slow, v noticeable when u r forced to constantly zoom in and out by icon clut. This on a Galaxy 24 Ultra, not the cheapest of chips. I cant find a solution in the settings or online. Time to end my monthly donation and move on?
There are speed issues on Pixel 8 for the past month or so. I reinstalled and vanilla configuration has speed issues. A map renders fully in about 10-15 seconds. it used to be 3-5 seconds on this phone. The app is hardly usable, please investigate and fix!
good app
Please fix offline maps download speeds! Use some CDN or ipfs or even torrent. That initial setup with downloading for entire day or two is really abysmal experience!
