Google Play apps don't show up in Apps

HI all

Just got my color Boox Nova today, trying it out to see if I want to switch from my Kindle Oasis. I'll say it's not as good for pure book reading but I like the versatility of being able to put apps like Pocket and Shortform on it. I'm pretty disappointed with the color; it's bad on images. I still need to see how it does with color diagrams which is the primary reason I wanted it. Overall I am tending towards keeping it thus far, although I'll miss my page turn buttons.

However, I have a problem. I enabled Google Play Services, which is how I managed to get Shortform installed (as well as Moon Reader Pro which I own). Those apps don't show up in the Apps view though; the only way I can launch them is to go to the Play Store, look for My Installed Apps, and launch them from there, which is a real drag. Is this a known limitation or is there a fix for this?
