I used this for my family's recent trip in Lisbon and Prague. It worked great! The OSM data was reasonably up-to-date for all of our destinations; I don't remember encountering bad information, even though I often double-checked with other mapping providers (which aren't immune to issues with out-of-date information).

One awesome feature was being able to find "drinking water" while we were walking around. I did come across a tap that was shut off/unavailable, but only once. Again, this is more of an OSM data thing than CoMaps, but I generally found the app pleasant to use.

There sometimes feels like there is something slightly off with the "Route To/From" UX that I can't put my finger on, but no complaints.

Best ist you can directly report the broken tap from the app. So the dates will be fixed.

I love it for hiking, walking in cities and driving a bicycle.

Pocket Earth Pro also provides off-line OSM maps. That's what I use. I'll check out CoMaps as well.

Even neater, I use CoMaps on my linux laptop, with a USB GPS receiver.

It beats using IP based Geocoding.

Recently noticed it is on flatpak as well, so can use from my tablet.

it's a great app, I use it whenever I have bad Internet coverage or when I want to use open street map, for example when hiking. It's really a competitor of commercial apps.
