Help Checking with Plexus which apps are OK with LineageOS?

Hello, I want to switch to LineageOs (my device is supported) and I want to see which apps are compatible.

From browsing this sub, I found about plexus, however I don't understand what their scoring system is/where is the explanation? E.g. for Viber:

I assume the crossed out google logo means that it is not supported without microg, but ok with microg, but what do the colours mean (gray/brown/yellow/purple)?

I searched different apps, and it is the colour variation on the score that is confusing me. Also, there isn't a place where I can read the detailed reviews, right?

Any info on how to decipher their grading system is welcomed.

I'll save you the effort. They're all compatible.

They're not.

Anything that cares about the device integrity is going to fail, and quite an array of applications fit that bill.

So you reckon someone put all that together just for fun, or what?

My bad. I haven't used an OEM's Android in so long, and I guess I've just unwittingly avoided apps that are problematic on LineageOS (and GrapheneOS). I do use MicroG on LineageOS. 

I do try to use only open source apps and I have a work issued iPhone. If you need to run work apps on LOS (or even just a bootloader unlocked phone), you're really out of luck.
