I have no issues with the applications, any of them.

I have issues with osm data for Canada which is sparse to be polite. The data 
is extremely limited to the point that unless you are in one of 5 major urban 
settings possibly a few more, there is no meaningfull data. 

This will change over time, however at present, osm data is not helpfull for 
my region.
