For the longest time I used Organic Maps and it was fine but it was very very bare bones. I gave OsmAnd a shot again which I did not like before as I found it very confusing and holy shit I was wrong. OsmAnd is amazing and is customizable to the brim. I love it

If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)
