Apk Link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk
Note: If you don’t want to deal with stuff like this, I recommend you download and use it from F-Droid client or Accrescent AppStore.
Update: The app returned to the App Store.
I can install it at this moment, so I think it was already fixed
The amount of corporate control that has slowly and insidiously crept into our lives will never cease to amaze me.
Capitalism baby. Gotta cannibalize, monopolize, and enshittifize for maximum profits.
giggles in F-Droid
“Ooh rah”
Haven’t heard of Organic Maps before but I just installed from the apple app store for solidarity 🫡
This is the way.
Mmhmm 😁
EEE
Thx for.the post. Just installed via fdroid. Awesome app.
Maybe it was a mix up? I just checked their website and clicked on the link they had for playstore and then downloaded it from there.
I just checked again and I can confirm the same.
I will edit the post to reflect this.
Probably because of NSFW geographic locations, like https://omaps.app/U4yUt5ZjzL/Püssi
Organic Maps should be 18+.
That place exists in Google Maps too.
Google Maps are such hippocrates! 😆
It exists in real life too
Really? I heard that’s the most kid friendly place on earth.
actually normal business for Google Play and smaller apps
TIL, I never knew this existed. Currently downloading it. Any other suggestions for someone in iOS (openmaps related)?
Go Map!! for editing the map
Thank you, Google. Now I’m using it and contributing to OpenStreetMap :D
Thanks again google. I had never heard of this app until you banned it. Now I’m running it on my phone. Top notch advertising for your competition.
Same, downloaded it and gee it’s so much better
Well glad this article brought my attention to this app. Now I can download it and remove google maps from my devices
When listing an app on the app store, there is a footgun to watch out for. One of the questions it asks is “Is this app made for children” or “is this app intended for children” or something like that. If you say “yes” to this then that triggers extra stringent evaluation criteria. Many people will accidentally choose yes for their app because it’s a general purpose app which anyone can use (no porn, violence, etc) but that is a mistake. The intent of that question is to find apps that are ONLY for children to use and to evaluate them differently in order to keep children safe.
Yeah, I was looking into this recently, and even games like Roblox are labelled Teen (even though I think it’s obvious they target younger children).
Roblox would never pass a child review. There’s literal gambling on that shit.
Capitalism breeds innovation
This is insane. What on earth could possibly constitute adult content on a navigation app? Are they going to start age-gating points of interest, like, if the destination address is a strip club in Virginia you have verify?
