Try CoMaps instead of Organic Maps. It's a fork because Organic Maps is starting to enshittify
I just ran the two apps side-by-side and barely found any differences other than some subtle UI changes. How exactly is it different? And how is Organic Maps being enshittified?
The only Organic Maps controversy I'm aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that's what that user is referring to? Not sure.
