@retiolus @openstreetmap @organicmaps I think it's fair for apps to become financially viable, and really poor form when people criticize apps for trying to be financially viable. The Organic Maps team does a ton of unpaid work and yet people use it and expect developers to work for them for free, but also reject apps that are built by paid developer working in for profit companies. I applaud Organic Maps finding a way to ensure it has long and healthy future!
