I like Locus maps a lot. The UI is a little busy but once you get used to it you appreciate it because it really is a work of love.

And with Locus maps you can use OpenAndroMaps [1] as a map source.

With their map styles [2] OpenAndroMaps are IMO the best hiking maps you can get. They even added very precise elevation data from LIDAR scans recently.

Locus also have a store where they sell offline maps very similar to OpenAndroMaps for very small amounts. Not sure if they include elevation data however.

We used Locus to hike through Norway.
