Hi! The app “La Banque Postale” does not work on my phone (SM-A310F /e/OS 1.16). It crashes after the authentication, just before displaying the home screen.

Exploring microG and its compatibility with various apps is like navigating a digital drama. Some apps gracefully waltz with microG, seamlessly syncing data, while others stumble in a choreography of errors. It’s a tech tango where compatibility is the lead, and microG plays a dynamic partner. Like the latest episode of " Teri Meri Dooriyan new episode," the compatibility saga unfolds with suspense. Some apps bow gracefully to microG’s open-source charm, creating a harmonious duet. Yet, there are those dramatic moments where apps resist the microG allure, leaving users in a cliffhanger. Today’s episode in the microG saga continues, a digital dance of compatibility, where each step determines the harmony or discord in the tech world’s grand performance.

/e/OS is still Android .
(Preinstalled Google Apps and services are not what constitutes Android.)

Starting points …

[LIST] Apps that work or do not work with microG

microG is a part of the /e/ROM. For users who want to continue using applications that require the Google infrastructure but do not want their data spied upon, microG is a good plan B. That being said not all apps work well with microG. There have been a lot of queries from users regarding what works and does not work on the /e/ OS with microG enabled . Read Gaël’s views on the subject… In this editable list pl share names of apps that work and do not work with microG. (Please copy format of…

Install and try ?
(Since /e/OS doesn’t have the genuine Google services, Google-dependent Apps, which are most of all Apps, may or may not work with the Open Source replacement microG included in /e/OS at any given point in time anyway. Most things work out pretty well, but there’s no guarantee.)

Else … every App in https://f-droid.org should work.

These work (I use them myself, can’t say about the rest… I am sure this is redundant information):
Keepass (source: fdroid)
FairEmail (source: github)
Signal (source: aurora)

Confirm: KeePassDX, FreeOTP+, Open Camera, Signal without problem on eOS 1.17-r

ProtonMail
ProtonVPN

I can confirm that all Proton apps work perfectly.

[Jemsurfer]

Not working: Ireal Pro. It shows a licensing error, even with SafetyNet enabled

[dexic]

Ladenetz App is not working since a couple of iterations.

[winkman]

Pluxee app does work partially for viewing account but payment is not possible most likely due to the lack of google pay.

[us3r1d]

Pokemon Go was working till February 1st.

After much effort and web searching, I’m guessing it’s the start of the SafetyNet sutdown causing that.

[Klaas]

Okay, the effectiveness of MicroG is key for apps which depend on Google Services, but I know the privacy settings in /e/OS also play a part in this. Some apps do not work with a hidden IP. So I guess some apps in the list of ‘not working with MicroG’ may not work because of the Advanced Privacy setting, not because of MicroG.

[Jean_Karlos]

My phone pass completely in safetynet and do not authenticate in pokemon go, not with Gacc, not even facebook, I think is something new in Gservices not implemented in microG

[us3r1d]

Pokemon Go had an update today and the updated version works. So that can go back on the list.

Hi! I just created an account here because I’d like to check whether I’ll buy me an e/OS smartphone. But I need certain (medical) apps to work. I couldn’t find them in the lists and tables above, so if I list them here, could someone check them for me? Pretty please?

[marcdw]

By all means, list away.

[Malvolio]

Here it comes

Medical:

• MiniMed ™ Mobile (app that gathers info from insulin pump + makes notifications to the user);
• CareLink ™ Connect (app that transmits glucose info to insulin pump-user + caregiver);
• Guardian ™ (app that gathers info only from the glucose transmitter);
• Mijn Eetmeter (Dutch app to calculate food nutritients, needed for the glucose & insulin apps mentioned above);
• Helena (Belgian app to receive digital prescriptions from your General Practitioner);
• MyNexUZhealth (Belgian app to register in several hospitals, see appointments and lab results, … even pay your bills);

To pay with:

• Bonsai (app that creates a digital credit card from your debet card, works with Google Pay, but it’s not necessary to link both apps, so I wonder whether Bonsai is still usable as stand-alone-app to pay with in stores, restaurants, …);
• Payconiq (the app from Bancontact, which manages debet card payments in all Belgium), I thought I read someone mentioned above it does not work on e/OS?
• Triodos (bank app, just to check your accounts and make credit transfers between accounts/banks, not used to pay with)

Public transport:

• NMBS (Belgian train, both to look up itineraries AND buy tickets - are both possible on e/OS?);
• Eurostar (Benelux + Germany + UK high-speed trains, to look up itineraries AND buy tickets);
• De Lijn (Belgian/Flemish public transport);
• STIB/MIVB (Brussels public transport).

For fun:

• Evie (launcher);
• Your Calendar Widget (super-adjustable widget that takes data from your calendar accounts on your smartphone).

Could someone please check whether these apps work on e/OS?
(I couldn’t find them in the table above or on this page, but I might have missed some…)

Thanks in advance! I hope most of them are available, so it would make my decision to switch to e/OS a lot easier

@Malvolio

Triodos (bank app, just to check your accounts and make credit transfers between accounts/banks, not used to pay with)

This didn’t work for me: the app needed to take a photo of my face,using Google APIs and/or Libraries that are not yet implemented by microG
