Are other apps easy to install

i use Blink camera, Alexa, Messeger and a NordVPN along with a few other spps. Does a de-Googled phoone allow for these or do you advise against them?

short answer is yes, they are easy to install. SOME applications that require Google Play Services require you go through a bit of a setup process to run these apps, which is clearly outlined on the very bottom of our Getting Started Guide here -> https://mark37.com/documents/9/PhoneStartupGuidecondensedv1.0.3.odt

We also recommend you watch the tutorial videos we have here -> https://rumble.com/c/c-2587750 which will likely answer your questions and concerns re: applications, app stores and how the phone functions.
