The old maps.me is reborn and active as Organic Maps now.
+1 for Organic Maps though I feel it's lacking in some basic features.
Still renders much better and smoother than OSMAnd.
Yeah. OsmAnd (at least for me) suffers from the rather typical opensource thing that it can do lots of things and can be configured in a myriad of specific ways, and to use it you have to dive into it to configure them; Organic Maps, on the other hand, does less, but much slicker and simpler.
