It is not. It used to be, but it got acquired by a third party company and became closed source and started tracking its users.

The good news is that the original developers of Maps.Me developed an Open Source fork of the original app: Organic Maps which is an excellent app that is actively developed by a team that listens to the users needs and is therefore constantly improving. I recommend everyone to check it out.
