I have Osmand+ and it works fine. One very easy way to improve the performance is to download the maps you need ahead of time.
Start by downloading your metro area and I can guarantee that positioning and navigation will be instantaneous. Unless your phone is to blame. FYI I am using a Google Nexus 7a. Very happy with Osmand+.
