It's a tad unstable but offers tens of thousands apps that have been tested to work on eink devices. No strings attached.
While I'm sure that they've tested some of the apps in their app store to see how they perform on eink devices, I would be surprised if they have tested thousands.

Certainly some of the Android apps which they have in their store wouldn't work on most eink devices. For example, I haven't seen very many eink devices with fingerprint sensors. (My Hisense A2 Pro has one and apparently so do the most recent models from Onyx, but apart from that?) So I can't see the Fingerprint Lock app in their store working very well on most eink devices.

And, just browsing through the Android apps they have listed, I can't see many of them performing well on most eink devices.

Will some of their apps work well? Of course, they've got some standard and well established apps there like Moon+ Reader which I love and which is my go to app for reading in Japanese. But one can find that app and others like it in other app stores as well.

Plenty to choose from elsewhere if you don't want to use Google Play. I would give that particular app store a wide berth given the unethical way they conducted their Indiegogo campaign which still has backers waiting for perks.
