So ive been using OSMAnd~ on F-Droid so far and im quite Happy with it :D
Sadly its UI is quite clunky and i literally could not find my Destination where i had to go to even tho ive downloaded the Entire Map of Germany -.-
Can anyone by chance recomenned me some Good Apps that wouldnt rely on MicroG or can be easily gotten from F-Droid or similiar FOSS Android Stores? :D

CoMaps is an app that focuses on user friendliness. But it might lack some "power features".

Osmand is great when you really want to tweak your map experience. But it can be a little complicated for the occasional user.

An somewhat complete overview off apps & tools that are using OSM data can be found here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Android_applications

If you can't find a location/address with your OSM app, check if the data even exists on OSM. If it is not there yet, you can check out StreetComplete, which is a cool way to add, check & fix the upstream OSM data.
