Title is editorialized because the original is, frankly, clickbait garbage
Osmand is really cool and it’s really capable but I understand that it isn’t for people who don’t want to tinker a bit to make things work just right for them.
Idk how the new user experience is now but back when I first downloaded it I wanted a hybrid of sat imagery when cell signal allowed, with an overlay of offline OSM data. This was for two reasons, hiking and to see if the mapping in that hike area needed any major land use edits.
Anyway I had to fiddle with the menus and settings for a while to get the overlays where I wanted it to be. Don’t get me wrong I was able to figure it out but for users who want to install and go it can be understandably frustrating
I usually use OsmAND for my motorbike tours where I love the adaptable UI.
But importing round trips is a big hit or miss, where most of the time it just skips all intermediary stops
And for daily “driving” (hehe) I do miss some traffic info :-(

For that Organic Maps is what I recommend.
I daily drive osmand. Where do you need tinkering there?
The UI is definitely confusing for OSMand
