I recently purchased the MV88+ and I have a Galaxy S8 active. For making videos, the microphone sounds great. The MOTIV app for android is a beta app, but functions well. There is a compatibility chart, but in my opinion, it doesn't give all the information that I would want to see if I was purchasing this for an android phone.
My first attempt to do a Facebook Live video with the mic, there was nothing but static. After digging for information, I found this

Also, my phone doesn't provide enough power to allow for monitoring the levels with headphones. The sound coming to the headphones from the mic is barely audible. To sound check, I just record a little bit, ungplug the mic, plug in the head phones, rinse and repeat.
Luckily for me, my wife has an iPhone. I was able to do my live streaming with her phone, and I can also use her phone to set up the mic and get the EQ set while monitoring the sound through headphones.
It is still a great mic, but I would look elsewhere if I only had an android phone. I also feel like it would only be ethical for the Shure website to make it known that facebook live is not supported on android devices at this time.
