The lack of google services does cause issues. No ebay app, and I could not get signal to work so far. I think I read that it can be a problem for applications that use the services for notifications.
Whatsapp works, and it did not seem to require (or at least mention requiring) a limited google services as the person on reddit (quoted in the 11'th page of this thread) seemed to suggest, whose instructions do not seem to work for me.
Another issue I have with this phone is that some apps don't always scroll properly, in that they only scroll after swiping the screen and not during the swipe. This happened on facebook first and I resolved it by allowing permissions, but has returned. It also happens on amazon kindle. The settings page always does it.
Edit: I got signal working by putting the sim in my old phone, letting the register process send the verification code there, and returning the sim to the new phone.

I'm not a regular kindle app user, but the visual faux turning animation of pages when swiping that I think you are referring to works fine, in case my above comment concerned you.
