OutDoors GPS - Offline OS Maps is available on Android. Maybe slightly different name or typo.
Re: Ordnance Survey Maps - alternative app recommendation pls
I've had a subscription for Outdoor Map Navigator from Anquet (https://www.anquet.com/) "Four Apps - One Subscription".
I use it on Windows PC & Android phone & you can sync data between them. Maps are downloadable fro offline use & updated quarterly.

Nobody so far has mentioned Memory-Map. Their new app, Memory-Map for All, operates across multiple platforms. I've no personal experience of the app but I'm a long term user of their digital raster mapping using Memory-Map Navigator software for Windows. Memory-Map Navigator is an excellent navigational software package which I use for planning and route creation in conjunction with various dedicated GPS devices. I've also used their original android app on my old tablet but mostly as a means of accessing my library of maps when on tour.
Their are various versions of the OS 1:25K and 1:50K maps, which can be purchased either with an annual subscription or with a perpetual licence. The licence is valid for up to 5 devices. The Memory-Map for All and Memory-Map Navigator software are free to download, as is the OS1:250K base map. The licence also allows for unlimited printed copies to be made for personal use, given the current price of OS paper maps the digital maps are remarkably good value.

Just need one for Italy now, which seems to be a black hole for decent topo maps online.

It has the cartographia maps.
I am not familiar with Italian maps but they look like the official ones
You can slide between them and open street map
I will try and attach a screenshot

Re: Ordnance Survey Maps - alternative app recommendation pls
Looks like they are proper maps but seem a bit antiquated!
These appear to be the official ones from the Italian govt. so not the app - the app displays the french ign ones as would be expected
