OSM on android (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone im new to the OSM community but eager to contribute. Im curious how many of you use OSM on android phones and how you interact with it. I'm interested both in terms of contributing but also using it for its map functionality e.g. navigation. Based in my early research so far the most popular apps seem to be:

  • OsmAnd
  • Vespucci
  • Maps.me
  • StreetComplete
  • Organic maps
  • Magic Earth

Im really looking for your opinions on what apps are worth using and for what purpose. Do you just use one app or multiple apps for different purposes. Which app would you recommend to your tech savvy friend and which to your mum? There's probably a bunch more i haven't mentioned so please also highlight them and any strengths or weaknesses they have. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Organic Maps is the maintained fork of Maps.me. See the wikipedia article for details.
