It improved slightly with opengl but it's still very slow to render offline maps after years.

thank you. that is weird! I am using osmand for more than 3 years or so and it has been slow forever, only opengl changed it a bit. on iphones it's smooth. It's like android is second class citizen.

@GravitySpoiled OSMand began on Android, hence the name, and only became available on iOS much later. I recall the original iOS releases received lower reviews until quite a bit of patching was done. Strange it's running poorly for you. Their support and forums are pretty active - have you taken this up there? Best of luck.

AND is not coming from Android. Osmand is short for "OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions". Source

IOS version is much newer, that's true though

Sure, that's what they say it stands for _now_, but did it always stand for that?

It's been slow for me for ages, the update to OpenGL barely changed a thing. I don't really think it's my phone's fault if OrganicMaps manages to not have this problem.
