    Seems like Organic Maps aren’t saints either.

    Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature…

    Here’s a relevant issue if anyone’s interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218

    Looking at the discussions it’s even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn’t be “misclassified” as ads…

      Yeah they advertise no ads, but then have referral links to Kayak in their app. Seems like the main devs have gone off their rockers.

      They’re also doing the same thing with Google Play - arguing that collecting user emails for osm login doesn’t count as collecting data.
