It improved slightly with opengl but it's still very slow to render offline maps after years.

@GravitySpoiled OSMand began on Android, hence the name, and only became available on iOS much later. I recall the original iOS releases received lower reviews until quite a bit of patching was done. Strange it's running poorly for you. Their support and forums are pretty active - have you taken this up there? Best of luck.

AND is not coming from Android. Osmand is short for "OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions". Source

IOS version is much newer, that's true though

Sure, that's what they say it stands for _now_, but did it always stand for that?
