Overview

Google Play Services are essential components on most Android devices. They allow you to access your Google account seamlessly and provide Google-specific features for apps that depend on them.
However, when you flash custom ROMs without Google Play Services or opt for alternatives like microG, certain apps may encounter issues — either not functioning at all or experiencing limitations in specific features.

Plexus provides detailed insights into app compatibility whether you’re using ROMs without Google Play Services (like LineageOS) or ROMs with microG (such as CalyxOS). It helps you identify which apps work, don’t work or have limited features.
All the information is crowdsourced by the community, for the community.
