They claim to be compatible with android apps in their site, how true is that?
For me, the problem with phones is the sense that you're just one step away of having no more OS updates, or updates making it slower, or basically getting locked-in in some way.
Phones feel very different to computers.
- saidinesh5 5y agoThey have an Android compatibility layer, which lets you run a lot of Android apps and adds various integrations with sailfish os: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Amrr766crc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Amrr766crc The integration with Android apps, when it works, is fairly seamless. It is kind of like using wine to run windows applications on Linux. Sometimes things may not work, but otherwise it's fine.
- mariusor 5y agoThey support android apps from a custom repository and from f-droid. I think most of them work in the limit of being compatible with the android version that Alien Dalvik on the device supports (the latest models like Sony Xperia 10 II support version 10). However most of them suffer from not having access to Google services, but then again, that's something a person that wants to de-google would expect I think.
