I used this a bit after a story about it came up a few days ago. Since then they have updated with CarPlay support, which is greatly appreciated.
I recently de-Googled, so I've been using Apple Mps. Apple is logging my location whether or not I use their first party map app, so I still end up using their first party map app because it provides traffic information and weighs that in the routing algorithm. Practically speaking, that's a big deal to me.
As amazing as OrganicMaps is, the lack of gaining much extra privacy on iOS and the lack of traffic information means I probably won't be using OrganicMaps too often.
