    Be realistic, not many people using apple devices (or any mobile devices tbh) are going to care or be intelligent enough to pull an open source alternative

        No, it’s more that the average person will choose an iPhone or Android Phone and use whatever is built-in instead of looking for an alternative, and this describes the vast majority of people.

        It’s not the device they picked, it’s that they’re part of the majority.

          The point is there’s no reason for android edglords to be all antagonistic and bring intelligence into it.

            No, the majority sucks at any particular area. It turns out that most people are good at a few things and bad at pretty much everything else. You don’t want a doctor doing your taxes, or a lawyer checking your teeth for cavities, because that’s not what they’re good at.

            Most people only care about tech if it’s not working. They use whatever comes with the devices they buy and leave it at that, because why should they care further?

        People that like iphones hail Steve jobs. The guy that wore one single outfit because he hated choice, and made an operating system out of that believe system. On top of walled garden crap like not even being able to use Bluetooth for sending things around.

        Yes the iPhone is pinnacle of stupid.

          I like my iPhone and I think Jobs was a twat.

          The world does not exist in dichotomies like you’re asserting.

            he died from his own hubris, he went a fruit diet until his rare tretable cancer mestasized and killed him, plus he paid to get a liver transplants ahead of someone else in need, only to die form the cancer.

          Probably those iPhone users look at you and think that it’s so stupid to test several apps when the default ones work great.

      won’t care? yeah probably. aren’t intelligent enough? that’s an insane generalization, knowledgeable about technology ≠ smart

      Be more realistic and try it. You’ll find obsolete and missing information, no review, and no info about opening times. I’d be happy to use it, but quite frankly it lacks all the features I need.

        this is me as well. I’m the /only/ person in my town that updates data on OSM, and if you leave the area its just a void of nothingness. Outside of the automatic survey info that gets added its a ghosttown.

        I want to like OSM but, between the crappy UI on all the apps, and the lack of information, I couldn’t do it.

          There are a few around me, but I still find very outdated info and make a bunch of updates. A business left a year ago, and I finally got around to replacing it with the new business.

          OSM is great, but it’s super spotting for anything with any amount of variance. It’s fantastic for trains and whatnot that rarely change, but for what most people use Apple Maps/Google Maps for, it’s largely useless.
