Their app is quite useful, unfortunately they decided to hide OSM attribution as deeply as possible and pretend that it is OK. They have attribution visible to user in bottom-right corner, it reads "MAPS.ME". They were notified about problem on July. See https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/11203 <https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/11203> and https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/11845 Edit adding them to a list: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Lacking_proper_attribution&diff=1911505&oldid=1901931 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Lacking_proper_attribution&diff=1911505&oldid=1901931> In case of continued noncompliance I plan to write polite letter explaining that following OSM license is not optional and ask OSMF / Legal Working Group to send it.
