@organicmaps It is a nice and relatively easy to use map application, but I do have my share of criticism.
Mainly, the routing is basically always worse than what any option on osm.org provides. I don't know why.
In some ways the UX could be better as well, but that holds true for any map app I have tried.

Still, it is the first app I try for my routing needs, usually followed by OsmAnd~.

@murks please share “wrong” routes with us (by email or on our Github), together with a good ones from OpenStreetMap.org , we are constantly improving our routing engine. Note that there are no (yet) turn and traffic lights penalties on OM.

@organicmaps Thanks, I may do so next time.
They tend to be not wrong per se, it just turns out that I basically always prefer osm routes. Also, I mostly look up cycling routes, so maybe there is something there regarding preferring cycling ways and low traffic streets.
