MobilePay works in Finland.

DRTV crashes before I can enable cookies on XA2, 10 II and 10 III. The GS290 (4.4.0.64/Waydroid) shows a notification (“can’t play video”) before crashing.

What about Lidl Plus?

Don’t you get the error message with Mobilepay? Also, is the issuer of the app the same in Finland and Denmark?
I just installed Lidl Plus and there seems to be no problem with it. It is true that the DRTV app crashes, but it was new that I got the error message before it crashed :wink:

The issuer is the same, Danske Bank A/S, but the Google Play ID is fi.danskebank.mobilepay, not dk…

The Danish version starts but it’s in English - I was prepared to put a hot potato in my mouth and use Swedish :wink:
