Revision history [back]

I'm pretty heavy user of YLE Areena, also with my Jolla (mostly audio in that case). The application has been available in Jolla Store, and works reasonably well - especially there has been no dependency to Google Services.

Now YLE has released a new version of Areena, which can be installed at least from some of these Android stores (Aptoide or 1Mobile, don't remember). But guess what: it requires Google Services to even start.

So, what are my options:

• stick to old version and pray that it will work forever
• install Google Services "hack" and hope that a) it won't break anything and b) Areena will be satisfied (will it?)
• wait and trust that there will be fully Sailfish "compatible" version of new Areena one day in Jolla Store

?

No need to mention, that in a mobile browsers Areena has never worked.
