Car navigation? Locating shops? Generally no, and overtaking Google Maps is hard in this fields.
Hiking, cycling - Google Maps is not usable, at least in places that I visited, while OSM was great.
Doing anything interesting with data, like making own map, making map-based decorations (I made some laser-cut maps), research involving geodata, data analysis and anything more interesting - it requires access to data.
OpenStreetMap is allowing to do things completely out of scope of Google Maps, so in many cases it is not even competing.
But if you are individual driving car and you are not trying to eliminate Google from your life? Then Google Maps app is often superior.
