Organic maps is probably my favourite osm app for general use. I still have OsmAnd for various purposes, and I use Magic Earth when driving for the included traffic calculations. I hope that Organic Maps can generate some traffic data in the future. Though, I imagine for it to work well, some sort of open sharing of traffic data would need to happen to avoid fragmentation between apps.

Thanks for the magic earth rec! Is it FOSS?

No, but it's an alternative to GMaps or HERE WeGo for car navigation.

As Kilgore said, it isn't FOSS. And while it's hard to prove, they claim they don't collect any user data, and instead make their money through partnering with businesses.

Sadly crowd sourced traffic info isn't included in lots of countries such as mine :(
