It's a little frustrating that you can install whatever you want with no way to know if its broken, but all you can really do is try contacting the developer of the app to file a bug report.
Yeah, that is super annoying but what is almost worse is that there is no user feedback for an app that has crashed. There was an open issue on phosh about this but I don't think any progress has been made towards fixing it yet.
I think we're in an awkward early state still, where devs don't want to troubleshoot their more complex apps on Pinephone yet because phosh and Plasma Mobile are still such works-in-progress.
We're still seeing some simpler apps work though. Slowly but surely all the KDE/Gnome games are starting to fit on mobile, for example. Plasma Mobile is a bit more rough, but is a lot more open about their progress. You can freely join their matrix channel to talk to their devs even.
