Error on Google Play: "This app won't work for your device"

Try updating your child's software first — if that doesn't help, the app may simply not support the device.

Sometimes updating the software on your child's phone or tablet can fix this. Here's how:

  1. On your kid's phone or tablet, open the āš™ Settings app.

  2. Tap Software Update.
    (If you cannot find it, tap the šŸ”Ž magnifying glass to search for it.)

  3. Check for updates and install any that are available.

  4. Go back to the play_store_icon.png Play Store and search for the app again.

  5. If it still shows the same error, the app doesn't support your child's device.
