Thanks a lot for your messages! It seems that the best solution for me would be to set up an own tile server, download the tiles from OSM and then providing them to the users of our app. We have planned to let the app display maps offline, so a permanent data service wouldn't be necessary.
@Toby: Styling our own tiles is a great idea. That way, we could provide the most appropriate map representation for our users. Is there a documentation on tile styling?
