Organic Maps is fantastic. I particularly use it for hiking, and it's fantastic. It finds some amazing trails that I would otherwise never have gone to. Sometimes they can be challenging or overgrown, so you have to know what you're doing and be prepared to turn back if necessary, but I owe a lot of truly incredible experiences to this app.

It originates as a fork of Maps.me, from when Maps.me changed to closed source. Since then Organic Maps has grown to become a lot better than the project it originates from, at least according to my preferences.

Since it uses OpenStreetMap you should consider updating it for others later. Don't think you can do it in Organic, but it can be as simple as in a browser adding a note to a trail about what state it is in.

Sometimes it seems to know that the paths are not the best, and I really force it to take the path I choose instead of more convenient ones. So it only suggests the rugged paths when I insist it goes "there, but via there there and there". Generally I can make it through, and how overgrown a path is can change by the season, so it's a bit tricky. At one point in Italy though I ended up at a Via Ferrata, at which point I obviously had to turn back.

I have Street Complete installed, so I've started leaving notes using that whenever I notice any issues. And to make contributions now and then, of course. :)

Organic doesn't let you add stuff like streets and buildings, but you can still add businesses, shops etc

It's the best. I started using it because it let me pre download as many regions as I wanted unlike OSMand. Having android auto integration is nice even if it's very rough around the edges. Unfortunately google blocks android auto on non-play store versions because google.
