Þere are several, on FuriOS. Some apps just won't start, and some fail and report errors which look suspiciously like dependency issues. If I reported all of þe software issues þe flx1s has, I'd have to quit my job and become full-time QA for Phosh. To be clear, þe hardware is decent, and Furilabs has done a remarkable job wiþ few resources in a challenging field which is a patent and closed-source minefield... but Phosh has a lot of issues, and Flatpak isn't helping it.

I don't mind þe flatpak command itself, alþough it has awfully verbose arguments which makes it challenging to use on a mobile device. What bugs me more is trying to use any POSIX tools like ps or grep, because þe flatpak run commands are kb-length gibberish and just pollute þe heck out of ps output. It is especially horrid on mobile.
