I tried it on the PinePhone, it's almost completely unusable.

1. The keyboard just won't open ~50% of the time. I had to do all sorts of hacky things to get it to open

2. The web browser Angelfish is no where near fully featured. The one good thing is that it has a built in adblocker.

3. For about a month whenever I restarted the phone it would be completely black. I had to bring it into a dark room and plug it in for me to be able to barely see anything. Then I could raise the brightness. An update fixed this

4. A lot of the apps just don't open

5. All sorts of random bugs/missing features, in the music player, the file explorer, etc.

This isn't a bad thing. It is a work in progress and I hope that it will continue to improve. Ubuntu Touch has worked the best for me.
