OsmAnd~ in F-Droid is the free build of OsmAnd+ from Google Play, IIRC.

I bought the Google Play version and can confirm it's not the same as the F-Droid one.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/

it literally is (see `.plus`); in fact, if you install from F-droid, and then open Google Play to look at OsmAnd+, `Install` button is gone, just `Open`

that doesn't necessarily mean they are the same app, just that they are using the same name

What are the main differences?
