I’ve used this app as an offline maps tool for travel for a long time, when I got it I thought it was just a fine OSM client.

Then years later I hear it was running crypto nonsense (what) and was involved in FTX (what), but out of laziness I’m still using the thing because it can’t do any upsells when I am offline anyways.

Any recommendations for a good iOS offline map app that’s just a map app?

Not exactly sure what you mean. My understanding is Maps.me started trying to extract value from users (via the mentioned means) and that Organic Maps [0], took an old open-licensed fork of maps.me from before Maps.me went bad.

I currently use organicmaps.app as a nice offline back up for my traveling. I don't know how this current drama impacts organicmaps. I didn't realize that maps.me was also a contributor to organicmaps.

By “this app” I assume you’re referring to Maps.me.

I can recommend Organic Maps. It has none of those crypto shenanigans and is a great offline OSM-based app.

Yes maps.me
