A useful list although what this list and many other map reviews miss is the Base map source, doesn't matter how good the app is if its base mapping is rubbish.
Many apps use OSM for base maps and I believe Garmin's new north Africa maps are also OSM based. I use OSM on my Garmin unit and can't fault it for Morocco, maybe less detail, terrain shading etc than some but for finding pistes and general navigation its fantastic, being free also helps
To my knowledge, Maps.me, pocket earth, Giaia GPS, Motion-x, Locus, Be-on-road and Viewranger (free maps) all use OSM as their source, it really then comes down to price and which user interface makes the app better.
I was a little surprised at the low score Pocket Earth got, I like it but then I use it for research rather than navigation and also loading in iOverlander POI's.
(iOverlander really need to get a search function or some way viewing information at your destination off line rather than just a list of whats nearest  )
