OsmAnd puts essential features behind a paywall, like unlimited map downloads and CarPlay support.

@drspod
If you download it from the Fdroid store, then you can download unlimited maps and Android Auto works. I don't use CarPlay.

AFAIK there is no Fdroid for iOS. I wish there was an equivalent though, now that Apple is supposed to allow 3rd party app stores in the EU.

You use apple and complain about an open source app not being for free?

[–] rivas@mathstodon.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

@drspod
Apple charges developers to publish their apps. It makes sense they wanted some back.

Development costs money. It's all open source. Osmand is great.

I don't understand the complain about money.

So I just looked into this because I don't seem to be missing any "essential features" and it seems that there are major differences between the corporate Store version and the F-Droid version that I use. Pretty hard making sense of it all but it seems that on the FOSS version some otherwise paid features are free (including map downloads), I guess because there would be no mechanism to charge for them when there's no app-store account. Others don't seem to be available at all, but apparently I don't want those.

Anyway, the fact that they publish on F-Droid is the reason I've used this app for over a decade and why I never miss an opportunity to shill for it, like right now. Which I hope counts as payment in kind.
