Almost all Osm apps on Android I've tried freeze completely when you zoom out to more than 1/4 Tokyo level. Is this any better ?

Edit: just downloaded the full version, and I can confirm it's a lot better than every other Osm apps I've tried. I'm using a Galaxy S4 by the way

I just tried to see if this bug exists in OsmAnd+ but couldn't reproduce it. In general, it is a tight and stable app. Give it a try. There is a free version which is as good as the paid one.

Edit - here is their git repository: https://code.google.com/p/osmand/

I don't recall OsmAnd{,+} ever freezing. On the other hand I have a beefy phone (Galaxy S3) so it's possible that a phone with a less powerful chip would have trouble rendering.

Edit: Just tried it now and I can zoom out to the whole of Tokyo (and in fact wider) no problem.
