    My brother had one and loved it! But outside of basic tasks he couldn’t do anything with it. Eventually he switched to Android just to have apps.

      I tried it, but then realized I couldn’t even view my photos I took with my Nexus phone at the time. No Google photos app, and the web browser just took me to a page that said my phone isn’t supported.

      YouTube was also only supported via a third party app, and was missing pretty much every feature.

      As soon as I realized I would struggle to do the most basic tasks, I bailed.
