Yeah Organic Maps is so beatiful! Osmand looks kind of ugly. I am an engineer and Osmand style looks like it’s made by an engineer while Organic Maps looks like it has received the love of some caring designer!

OsmAnd re-rendering whenever I move the mapsl sucks arse. Very bad UX.

There's imo better looking themes for it. I like the look of the cycloroute theme, toned down greens etc. But I am so used to the standard osmand theme that I just keep using that.

@randomaccount43543 @youslashuser So true, plus @organicmaps loads much faster. On the other hand, #OSMand has more features for power users.
