Android has built in offline maps. Not sure about POIs not sure if the quality is as good as openstreetmaps for offline version. Given the app sales monetization for iOS vs Android is ~ 9:1, I need to come up with other monetization methods before working on an Android version.

Yes, Android has offline maps, but based on google maps. It would be nice to have an OSM-based app. There are lots of places globally where OSM is more detailed than google's.

I highly recommend oruxmaps. it is free and you can use both tiles and vector data as offline sources.
