I've had constant issues getting OSMand to navigate to addresses, even after checking that the address exists on OSM. If I search for a POI, it typically has no issue finding it and routing me there, but if I enter a street address, I get nothing. Enabling online search after failing to find an address once used to work perfectly (online search uses Nominatim instead of photon IIRC), but they seem to have removed online search entirely in the last update, so now I can only navigate by POI name or cross-street.

It might be better in other places, but it's a long way from replacing google maps for me.

Indeed, OsmAnd works wonders offline on phones: there's a ton of detail compared to some proprietary services, at least in some cities, and routing works fine without internet connection (with the exception of public transport when the data is not in OSM).

It's not entirely free, namely map updates are limited without a subscription—though I haven't checked if it's the same with the F-Droid version.

For me osmand works most of the time; I do find myself falling back on other services quite a bit.
