OrganicMaps only updates the maps monthly, so you will see your changes only on the next month. Also map updates are tied to app updates, so you have to update the app in your store first, then a button in the app will let you download the new map files. Related issues, more info about this:

In OsmAnd you can set up the map update frequency and you can even enable online maps, so you can set it the way you want.

I never used Magic Earth, so I don't know how it works.
