Organic Maps hit 6 million installs — and the thread points newcomers to its fork instead (organicmaps.app)
The pitch is clean: 100% of features work offline, no ads, no registration, verified tracker-free, 6 million installs by December. Then a CoMaps contributor shows up in the thread recruiting iOS developers, and others start listing why the community walked out a year ago — quietly added ads, a slice of code turned proprietary, donations that allegedly went missing.
The awkward footnote from a long-time user: even fans admit the search is so bad they keep crawling back to Google Maps.
