Could maps.me also be in a similar state? It used to be a good OpenStreetsMaps frontend and it was bought (possibly twice) by some investor firm to generate profit.

I don’t know what is the state of this app now. Does anyone know? What is the profit scheme (I suspect it might be similar to this one described here) and to which app would you switch instead?

OrganicMaps is a FOSS fork of maps.me I believe.

I've been using it and it is great.

+1 for Organic Maps, it's an amazing app (I still keep OsmAnd installed for some more advanced uses)
