How is OSMAnd these days? I'd love to use it, but I had to switch to Magic Earth due to some issues with rerouting when you deviate from the original directions.

It still hasn't an intuitive UI, some options are a bit too well hidden. But everything is there and I haven't had any bugs over the last year.
I used it for setting routes for hiking, recording routes for OSM edits, navigating bike and car, saving places I visited,... Love the app.
I forgot to mention: the search for adresses also needs a little bit to get used to. I wish I could turn on an online search, so that I can find places I haven't downloaded yet.
Never had any issues.
I has problems with that too but I reckon it was fixed a few weeks ago, rerouting is basically instant from what I can tell, but maybe I configured it to be a bit better in the settings and forgot... Also try organic maps of you want another alternative
Haven't had rerouting issues recently using it while cycling and on public transit, fixes itself pretty quickly
I'm only seeing 4.4.7 in fdroid
F-Droid always has slower releases due to the vetting system.
