Because we use OsmAnd
Who in their right mind would charge a subscription fee to download and/or update maps?
Edit: I only found out about this after my father downloaded the app on his phone, and it said he only has 5 downloads remaining before downloading the map for my state. It's extremely dumb for a "privacy focused maps app"
Only from walled garden app stores, the full unrestricted OSMAnd APK is available for free without restrictions from fdroid
Not if you have an iphone.
Thats a known issue with iPhone though. Nothing new added
That doesn't make it better.
Well tell apple to let you sideload apps.
