Yes, there is a pleasant nostalgic element to paper maps.  I used to read them sitting on the loo!
I get a warm fuzzy feeling looking at the maps lined up on my bookcase...

  When you zoom the 25k map, there is no extra detail beyond that normally present at any magnification as far as I can tell.  The high zoom levels are useful for micro-navigation such as finding your way through farmyards or being on the right side of the hedge.  I did have a problem with the recentre and compass but that was cleared by a recent update.  My main criticism now is you cannot simultaneously follow a route and record a track - a feature that is available in both Garmin and ViewRanger.
For info: I am using OS Version 2.0.3.726 on a Samsung A50 running Android 9 patched to 1 Oct 19.  The last OS app patch was released this week.
I agree not extra detail but easier to see when zoomed right in and it does make a difference, more than I thought it might...at least to my old eyes  :) .I need to see if I get an update offered...

As I do when I open the drawer in my father's bureau which still contains his maps now together with mine :)
