I'm also trying to use Here WeGo for turn by turn navigation.
I tested all the other contenders (OSM And, Organic Maps, Magic Earth) and some seem to be best for outdoor activities (hiking, biking, OSM And), others do good for commuting (Here WeGo).
The other problem you mentioned is, that sadly few apps have this "search engine and rating" topic covered. As far as I know Apple Maps uses Yelp as backend and Google Maps it's own solution. AFAIK the others do simply not support community based annotations. Only addition or moderation on the groundlaying openstreetmap data.
If I need to search for a location and it's opening times, I have no good substitute, yet.
Apple uses TripAdvisor if I'm correct
Looked it up. You are correct.
