It's the same with OsmAnd
- sam_lowry_ 3y agoOsmAnd~ in F-Droid is the free build of OsmAnd+ from Google Play, IIRC.
- feitingen 3y agoI bought the Google Play version and can confirm it's not the same as the F-Droid one.
- moelf 3y agohttps://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/ it literally is (see `.plus`); in fact, if you install from F-droid, and then open Google Play to look at OsmAnd+, `Install` button is gone, just `Open`
- contact9879 3y agothat doesn't necessarily mean they are the same app, just that they are using the same name
- blendergeek 3y agoWhat are the main differences?
- JeremyNT 3y agoIt's a decent model. I actually wanted to support osmand financially, only at the time the only way I could find to do so was through the play store, which I didn't want to use. I've tried the simple apps and they are ok, but there are so many good alternatives on fdroid they don't stand out in any way.
- margalabargala 3y agoOsmand is (or was last I checked) also available paid on the Amazon Fire store. If you get Amazon digital credit, e.g. from a "prime day delivery", you can use the fire store to donate that money to Osmand or whatever other app of preference.
- nani8ot 3y agoSimple Calendar is great. It does everything I need and is simple to use. Usually the default GrapheneOS/AOSP apps are good enough, but not the calendar. Also I never found a calendar I like better on F-Droid.
