While I'd prefer something completely community-driven and open source, the fact that this app is on the OSM wiki suggests the project is generally OK with it.

I was just wishing for a Waze alternative last night, and here it is. It's proprietary and commercial, but it's not from FAANG or a company subject to the Chinese or Russian governments. I'll take that as an improvement.

- pietervdvn 3y agoBeing on the wiki does not necessarily indicate "official endorsement". However, as long as the app holds onto the official copyright guidelines (see https://openstreetmap.org/copyright https://openstreetmap.org/copyright - more or less equivalent to CC-BY-SA), a closed source,commercial app is perfectly fine.
