It’s Time to Make OpenStreetMap Your Only Street Map

Are there any nicer OSM clients for Android? Because the one I seem to have tried was abysmal at searching for addresses.

It's possible that the problem is that OSM lacks the data. For example, in Melbourne, Australia, only a handful of suburbs have any form of street number data, and the street/suburb mapping is overall moderately poor. (If you struggle hard enough you can probably get around it, e.g. in OSMAnd you can search for a street name and then "search in nearby towns/suburbs" and it'll tend to show the right one.)

Osmand (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=net.osmand.plus) is pretty good at this
