I use Organic Map and both my locations are on the site and if I open the location through the app, I see it but searching lead to no results. No idea why, maybe I can see them because I'm the author?

That's an Organic Maps problem, they only update the OSM database once a month, and you have to click the update button manually when they do so.

I thought was more. But it's up to date and I still can't see the place I uploaded more than 1 month ago, sadly.

Eh I strongly prefer FOSS apps, OrganicMap was a cool project, can't find a Google maps alternative FOSS and reliable

Just use OsmAnd. It's old-school in terms of its UI and can be clunky, but it's FOSS, has hourly map updates (free for OSM contributors), and a lot of customization and features.

This is the only problem I have. It's great but has a very old UI and some elements are very ugly... i mean, the battery icon is so damn huge! Maybe I could fork and update it myself ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Someone at OM forgot to click the "reindex-db" this morning 🤣

Maybe ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I wish OM was a little better in terms of places + db updates
