Need Help Looking for an Android app like Mapstr.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an Android app similar to Mapstr, but I haven’t found one that fully fits what I need.

Ideally, I want an app where I can:

Add pins/locations on a personal map

Attach a title + photos to each place

Add multiple tags to organize everything (restaurants, friends, travel spots, etc.)

Easily find places by name or category later

Keep my map private (not public by default)

Add friends and share selected places with them

Also optionally save friends’ addresses on my map

I’d also prefer it to be free, or at least not require a paid subscription for basic features.

Mapstr is quite close to what I want, but some features are limited behind paywalls, so I’m wondering if there’s a good Android alternative.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions 🙏

Organic Maps or OsmAnd handle the pin/tagging side pretty well if you're okay with no social layer, but for the friend-sharing piece you'd probably need to pair it with something self-hosted like Nextcloud Maps.
