I would assume it is approved in Germany since the
FAQ says the following (Google Translate).
Is the certificate equivalent to the one from a test center on site?
Yes, the certificate complies with European requirements and is equivalent to a certificate from a test center. You can also choose up to 3 languages per certificate from over 20 languages.

Also
Is the certificate also recognized in Switzerland?
Outside of Germany, please check carefully whether the tests are recognized. In Switzerland in particular, there can be problems with recognition.
The test is recognized for trips back to Germany (status 10/2021).

So this seems it is valid for entering Germany. They do say for other countries check their requirements. The reason I ask is that it is much easier to pick up a box of approved tests while in Europe and not carry several Abbott BinaxNow. May be I will do both one day (Abbott and this outfit) but then again I do not want to shell out more money for this
