        @totalsonic Correct. Indeed. (In Disney Plus settings, phone ID is "Vollaphone") This is certainly the reason....

          @libremax Install apkpure store and Install apps from this app easily. To uninstall it you can enter android settings > apps > select the app > uninstall. The process is easy once you have apkpure installed on the device, you can install and uninstall all apps without going through adb. Spotify run well too.

            UK Volla phone user here.

            Working well

            *F-Droid
            *Fennec (but not appearing in UT apps list)
            *K-9 Mail

            *FTP Server Free - can access waydroid folders read-only from Ubuntu Touch browser when set to allow anonymous access.

            *HL (Hargreaves Lansdown) share dealing app - logon attempts failed. I cancelled as advised and logon then worked fine.

            *Atomic Wallet - Easy to use cryptocurrency wallet
            *Binance app - cryptocurrency exchange trading app - warns that 'phone is rooted'.
            *SafePal wallet - possibly the best cryptocurrency app. Connected to software and hardware wallets successfully. Able to scan QR codes.

            App Closes immediately
            *Hive (Centrica British Gas home controller). There is website access.
            *Swissborg - cryptocurrency exchange app
            *NHS app (the prescription and medical records app not the covid app). There is website access.
            *Starling banking app

            Not working for other reasons
            *Muun - Bitcoin lightning wallet - Displays message that Google Play Services are required for push notification. Cant proceed any further. I sent a bug report.

              @bruswilis I would reccomend the aurora store from fdroid instead. ApkPure has had serious security issues in the past.

                After being unable to use Muun Wallet due to a Google Play Services dependency, Ive installed BlueWallet and its working fine on the Bitcoin Lightning network and launchable directly from a Ubuntu Touch toolbar button.

                So I just wanted to confirm Ubuntu Touch users have the ability to connect to Bitcoin Lightning, Software, and Hardware wallets. Which is a big step forward in usability for me.

                For anyone not familiar Lightning allows small retail purchases using Bitcoin at near-zero fees, in a similar way to using GooglePay or PayPal.

                Thanks to everyone involved in WayDroid.

                    @treebeard Several Android apps updated a few days ago and I'm happy to say that:

                    • Starling banking app - Now fully working and usable

                    • Swissborg crypto app - Now working up to wallet recovery. I haven't checked any further yet

                    • NHS app - Able to log on now, after which a blank page is displayed.

                      @libremax I installed Waydroid through Waydroid helper, but sadly after install and rebooting it wouldnt launch. I am on the Sony Xperia X (F5122). But I am happy that others have apps working already.
                      I am excited to hear from others what else works under waydroid.

                        Xperia X is Halium 7.1; Waydroid requires Halium 9 or up.

                        Is currently using an Op5t
                        Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                              @kazord Sorry, but I'm not sure to follow how a native app is related to waydroid?

                                  I'm using Pixel 3a

                                  Apps that work:

                                  • Aurora Store
                                  • F-Droid
                                  • Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (a little bit slow)
                                  • Mi Home
                                  • Smart Life - Smart Living
                                  • Private Location

                                  Running with problem

                                  • Shopee Indonesia : apps working but can't login because I can't type non alphanumeric in password field, can't copy paste either. Tried login by phone number but can't slide the captcha image.
                                  • Garena AOV : apps running but cropped a few pixels on left & right screen, only black portion showed on left & right, but still responding to touch where there are supposed to be a button on the cropped part

                                  Not working

                                  • Firefox Browser : cant browse anything

                                    @treebeard The latest version of the UK NHS (prescription ordering and medical records) app is now working on my Volla phone. Previously it would display a blank white page after logging in. It still does that but after 30 seconds it displays the page correctly and is usable so possibly it was already working in previous versions and I was being too hasty.

                                    i compared this with the app behaviour on 'real' Android, and the same page is blank for around 10 seconds before displaying, so there's a bit of a design failing in the app not giving feedback while it retrieves user data, combined with this being quite a slow process in Waydroid, which is odd as Waydroid is generally very responsive on my Volla.

                                    That's all my 'essential' apps now working well. Thanks again to the Waydroid Devs.

                                      Hello, has anyone managed to get the Tesla app working? It just hangs on the Tesla symbol on opening and gets stuck there. This is on pixel 3a xl...

                                            @naizena If you wish.... There's a "Shazam like" app in the OpenStore: Music Recognition:

                                            https://open-store.io/app/soundrecog.luksus

                                            Just create a free account and enter the signing keys in Music Recognition. It works pretty well. All my tags were found within seconds. It's basic but reliable. The history of all your searches is automatically saved 😉

                                              Lot of people have been asking about banking apps, I found one that works it's called Bunq
                                              You'll need Gapps though as it is only available on the Play store
