Would CoMaps be a better recommendation than OSMand?
For those who are familiar with Ente, how are their apps? I use something different for 2FA and photos, but I need recommendations for people who don't want to deal with selfhosting and backing up Aegis
I switched from Google Authenticator to Ente Auth recently and am very, very happy. It works great.
I haven't tried their other apps yet, though. I intend to take a look at their images app.
Ente is pretty nice, Their UI's are clean and not bloated much. I don't use their online services though.
Edit: I use Osm since ive been using it for years now, all map's are pretty much forks, either from Osm or something that uses Open Street Map (from my understanding)
If you don't use the online services of Ente photos, check out refra (used to be called "gallery" but changed recently).
Clean UI, customizable to a degree, can download AI models to your phone for photo search. Personally it felt faster than Ente and didn't have buttons to the online service that I kept clicking on by mistake.
OSMAnd is not OSM. OSMAnd and CoMaps are on equal ground as far as using OSM.
IMO OSMAnd has more features which is great if you want them, but I prefer CoMaps for having what I need while feeling simpler. Can't really go wrong here, they're both great.
I prefer CoMaps for the same reason. It does what I need it to do while not overwhelming me with options, it's neat.
