OsmAnd is open-source and under development. Anyone can contribute to the app by reporting bugs, improving translations, or coding new features. The project is in a living state of continuous improvement through all these forms of interaction between developers and users. The progress of the project also relies on financial contributions to finance the coding and testing of new features.
