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 ⚙ Settings app.

  2. Tap Software Update.
    (If you cannot find it, tap the 🔎 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.
