Have you tried OSMand? I used it for navigation by foot and car, and in many cases it has equally nice public transport as gmaps. Otherwise I only use the local apps from each provider, so WienMobil and Scotty for Vienna/Austria for example, because google does not know about outages or disruptions in many cases. But that's my experience in Europe, so your mileage may vary.
I tried osmand, but was working even worse with finding my position and getting me to places
Sounds like gps problem, not osmand problem. Maybe your phone's AGPS service is borked, forcing the phone to do full gps satellite fix, which can take a while especially if the sky is obstructed by buildings or heavy cloud cover.
Try clearing your AGPS data with this app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.android.gpstest.osmdroid/
I love OSMAnd combined with BRouter to get better and much faster routing calculation.
Not sure what you mean with "Working worse with finding my position".
Its just GPS, not something magical you have to horribly wait for.
Maybe your GPS isnt working well?
some times the maps have the gps coords shifted
Honestly IMHO organicmaps is better than OSMand because it's less cluttered.
