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, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.
As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk
This APK should work with Android Auto.
There’s nothing you can find in open street maps that is not also going to have an equivalent in Google maps. There’s no messaging capability in the app. There aren’t even photos, except if you link it with Wikipedia. I can’t think of a single reason why this would get flagged, even accidentally.
Well some Wikipedia articles could be construed as not appropriate for kids if you’re dead set on removing the app.
I’m thinking of things like Auschwitz or Hiroshima or the Twin Towers where content could be objectionable for children, but also that’s a terrible argument because it’s Wikipedia and it’s a fantastic educational resource.
Any info what the exact problem they had was? Can you search for brothels in that app or what? (I remember you can in OsmAnd)
