Hi all,
Complete newbie here, I have been strongly considering buying a FP for a while now, and am looking to buy the 6+ with e/os. My current phone is borderline unusable and I cannot afford to wait much longer before buying a new one.
The problem is, I have seen some users on this forum and Reddit detail issues with certain apps and I need to know if they are usable on the FP before buying, namely SoundCloud and Rotaready. I use rotaready for work in order to be notified about shifts and to request holiday etc. in terms of SoundCloud, it is the only music streaming platform I will use, an absolute must for me. Therefore I want to ask if anyone has any personal experience or issues with these apps before i make the jump? And do I need to install any other programs/activate any settings for these to work? Or is it would it be worth buying the non-Murena version of the 6+ to ensure I can use these apps?
Any guidance or advice i would be so so grateful for. Ty 
Welcome to the community forum.
Both Apps are requiring Google background services on the phone according to Aurora Store (relying on Plexus for this info).
/e/OS provides a compatibility layer for this which does a pretty good job overall, but please be aware that even if anybody could attest that everything you want to have works right now, nobody can guarantee that it stays this way in case of such Apps.
As is in the technical nature of a degoogled Android Custom ROM like /e/OS, compatibility with Google-dependent Apps can be there at one point in time and not be there at another point in time (until a fix comes, if possible).
So, the question you should ask yourself is: Can I manage without these Apps if/when they break on /e/OS for an uncertain amount of time?
If you can’t, /e/OS would be the wrong choice of OS for these use cases.
I can only strongly advise against messing with work-related stuff this way.
(Disclaimer: I’m using /e/OS myself for years now.)
