To be fair to Mail.Ru, I believe maps.me is one product which became better when owned by them:
* they dropped paid version in dec 2014 (with all "pro" features, like bookmarks, being merged into free version)
* they opensourced it in 2015
* they added some OSM-editing capabilities in 2016
* they added bike navigation
I can't say how much of it is thanks to Mail.Ru, and how much - thanks to original developers, but it looks like the app was improving.
Note that in November 2020 it was sold to a new owners, - and after that, I believe, jumped down.
- Arech 5y agoThat's correct. However Mail.Ru has so much spoiled reputation that, imo, it's kind of a miracle...
- beagle3 5y agoIt was at some point last year replaced by something horrible with no shared ancestry, and after a month or two seemed to be back to a maps.me based version (Which it still is, I think, with a few other additions have to do with ads and some kind of wallet).
