Favorite apps broken by Lollipop upgrade

Weather Channel is not available to me. I have had a few other apps claim compatibility, but be unavailable for install on my phone (N6 w/ Verizon SIM). I am wondering if it has something to do w/ the phone showing up as a Verizon Wireless Motorola Nexus 6. Anyone else here that is having issues on Verizon?
 
MX Player and CNBC have both been updated to support Lollipop now.

For me to update to Lollipop, Splashtop Remote Desktop, Dish Anywhere, and Amazon Music absolutely must work. Otherwise it's a no go. I think someone mentioned that Amazon Music may already have been updated to be compatible, but not the other two, as far as I know. Dish Anywhere hasn't been updated in quite some time, and certainly not since Lollipop was made available.
 
I went ahead and side loaded the update. Now just those colored dots swirling around for the past 5 minutes. How long should that take or is much tablet bricked now? Never mind. Now says Android is updating..optimizing apps. So I guess it's ok.

All done now and all is well, and the apps that I need to work appear to be working. It's definitely different from kit Kat and will take some getting used to, but otherwise fine so far.
