The original question was about iOS, about which I know nothing.

But on Android, I've been quite well pleased with BackCountry Navigator 
PRO GPS. There's a free demo, and the real app is $12 if memory serves. 
It offers several decent topo map services, plus more that you pay for. 
It runs well without a network connection (it lets you download the base 
map in advance), which is perfect for those backcountry trails that lack 
cell service.

I do my own maps for it, using Mapnik of course! 
http://kbk.is-a-geek.net/catskills/test3.html is a sample of what's 
possible.

My biggest mapping project to date with it has been 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4286650 - every step of that trail 
is checked against my GPS logs from BackCountry Navigator.
