And yes, the Playstore doesn't work. I can recommend aptoide as an altenative app store (just make sure to only install apps with the green shield symbol).
I have tried the EMMC version. For me, I had to use Etcher to flash it to EMMC as the PINE64 Software Installer would not flash a valid, working image that would successfully boot.
On the EMMC version of Android 8.1, the Google Play Store appears to be partially broken. App URLS will open but stall when trying to install. They just say "Install pending..." and never install. Apps / APKs in Aptoide also do not install -- they will download but not install and are not in the Aptoide or Download directory. Also, the EMMC image is only 8GB and there does not appear to be a way to expand it to the full size of your EMMC; like, I have a 32GB EMMC and can only use ~3BG after installing Android with the rest of the EMMC as unformatted, not usable space.
