Attached: 1 image Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal. As a temporary workaround for the Google Play issue, you can install the new upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk

    This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

    yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

        Downloading from github defeats the whole point of getting free software. Fdroid builds are guaranteed to not include any non-free components. The same is not true for github builds.

          It’s still a better option than using the Play store if you really need a newer build, but yeah, not my first choice.

      Yeah, updates can be a tad slow. For fast moving apps like newpipe its understandable. For regular apps it should be fine.
