Foursquare last versions. Can't sign in: "Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance".

Foursquare only worked in the Playstore version on my Jolla. The version from Yandex had the mentioned error.

Opera browser ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser ) - Crashes right after start

Opera works for me. I got it from Opera's own website though, not from Google's Play Store.

I would assume, that apps relying on google framework may fail.

Sometimes restarting an app many times helps, e.g. after 6th start the app does not crash any more.

For me the application that I've found not working is the humble bundle app downloaded from their website. The installer simply is not starting.

For some apps which didnt work for me initially I eventually suceeded by installing an older version which sometimes don't rely on google services so heavily.
