Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Organic Maps earns strong praise as a fast, lightweight, attractive open-source/FLOSS app for offline navigation, hiking, cycling, and multiple travel modes. Users value its clean interface, OSM data, stability, and ease of use, sometimes preferring it to OsmAnd or Google Maps. Limitations include weaker search and address discovery, missing place details and public-transport coverage, fewer advanced features, dated UI, occasional crashes, and concerns about its open-source status and community conflict.

I do not understand why people are using this when CoMaps exist.. Its literally the old bad thing CoMaps is forked from to fix the issues! Everyone should switch right now!

Works, but as the others have pointed out there is some sort of conflict going on that has lead to a community fork called Comaps, which does its job just fine

The ultimate F-Droid setup (300+ Apps)

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)

Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device. Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%) I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time). FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software
