App Compatibility with BraX3 (iodéOS) – Community Feedback Thread

This thread is dedicated to tracking Android applications that are partially compatible or not functioning at all on the BraX3 device running iodeOS. Due to the de-Googled nature of iodeOS, some apps—especially those relying heavily on Google Play Services—may not work as expected.

We’ll keep this post updated with reports from both our team and the community. If you come across an app that doesn’t function correctly or has limited features, please share it in the comments. Include as much detail as possible (app version, behavior, and any workarounds if known).

Let’s work together to make it easier for everyone to find compatible alternatives and understand what to expect.

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE END OF THIS POST BEFORE YOU EDIT THE TABLE.

How to edit

  • Please sort apps in alphabetic order.
  • Please make sure before adding an app to the incompatible section (red circle) that it also doesn’t work with the iodé blocker deactivated for this app.

Compatible options:

  • :green_circle: : Fully compatible. No workaround needed.
  • :yellow_circle: : Partially compatible or requires a workaround to function.
  • :red_circle: : Not compatible. No workaround available.

Can confirm “retroarch” works, emulated GBC, GBA, SNES all without issue.

Also the following banking/payment apps work, I installed them thru the Aurora store that I have installed through the “shelter” app and run them through the work profile.
Capitol one
Chase bank
Affirm
Paypal
Wells Fargo.

Thanks for the feedback!
By the way, this page is a “wiki” page. Meaning you can edit the post. I suggest next time you just edit the table to add the apps that work.

For now, can you just add the app version you tested it with. You can add it directly in the table.
Cheers

Hi al!
Could You try these apps. They are mandatory for me:
CaixaBank (Bank app)
Em-client (mail app)
WhatsApp Business

Thanks!!
Cheers

This is difficult. Most of the apps you can download, but without an account one cannot really test.

Thanks xancudo, i will wait then. How do You download them? I think they aren’t in f-droid.
Thanks!

On Iode there is the Aurora Store pre-installed. This allows your to log into Google play if you have a gmail account, or you can allow it to log in anonymously, and then download apps.
