I use Organic Maps all the time with no issues, I use Gmaps WV to find places if they arent on openstreetmap
I use Magic Earth. It's proprietary, but uses OSM and I trust it more than Google. It has features for detecting traffic which I care about. I occasionally run into businesses that aren't labeled on the map, but the majority are. The navigation itself is always great. I live near a college and the campus is far more detailed than on Google Maps.
I often use maps.me in the UK, which sources the same mapset as OSMand, and it's.. Good? Very useful when you're out of signal. The OSM dataset is about the best I know of for walking, even compared to Ordnance Survey, which many consider the best. I find their online maps, even on dedicated GPS devices, cluttered and not very zoomable. I've spent many hours adding to OSM over the years and it's quite wonderful to see local features that I added popping up in all kinds of places - it's amazing how many commercial mapping options source data from there.
I do agree that Google Maps is the best at routing, especially for traffic and re-routing options. I often have it on even for commutes and more than once it's saved me getting stuck in bad traffic because a road was closed.
