Any details on why it's amazing? What does it do or doesn't?

It has the map corpus from OpenStreetMap, so one of the best in the world
It works offline - just download the desired maps onto the device
That makes it really, really fast. Google Maps is slower
You can also use it in areas with bad reception. I'm using it for hiking in the woods where there is no cell phone connection available
I really like the UI - they are f.e. better at displaying house numbers and street names than Google.

Maybe it's iOS specific but I had to go to a region and download the map to be able to search it, which is not great

It's the same on Android.
