Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases in Organic Maps. We h...
I hate the fact that there's no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.
Same, but lack of public transit support in my city is a dealbreaker. And although it's better for servers and privacy, needing to download the map for any city you would otherwise quickly browse the map of is annoying.
Serious question: in what way did maps.me get shitty? I've been using it for years as a gps replacement and other than being closed source and having a paid tier found no issue with it ( or at least no extra issues compared to other OSM apps )
Yeah, it's great to help contribute like that, I live in a really small town so the map was quite out of date, so I patched it up. OSM is slowly becoming a legitimate competitor with Google Maps and Apple Maps in terms of data quality and Google is cowering in fear that a libre, ad-free app will be far better than their closed-source, ad-infested, data-selling app.
I'm fed up with Google (& other huge companies) so I'm totally with openstreetmaps! I'll add more info a little by little. Thanks for your contributions!
So, why is organic maps hidden with the default anti features of f-droid? Which of these that have allowed my other installs does organic maps not comply with?
None of these look like something I'd want to turn off!
Am I crazy? I'm not seeing "Organic Maps" on Fdroid at all. Do I need to add a specific repo?
Edit: Okay yes. I had to include 'other antifeatures' which it did warn me about. I hadn't adjusted that setting beyond the default and assumed I didn't need to go enable those things.
As always, fuck them. But too bad local OSM is basically unusable. I contribed a lot until I finally gave up. Meanwhile domestic proprietary map is basically killing off competition, including Google Maps.
Sounds like either some AI tool scanned the app and caused a false positive, or one of the many clones reported the official app in hopes of climbing the search result rankings.
