Hello eveyrone! I've got a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S7. I've installed Android 7.0 Marshmallow and i can't install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manyou.calculate 

It says that my device isn't compatible with this version. I can't figure out why i am not able to install it since the app demands android 4.0 or newer.  Can anyone help me with this? 

 

Thanks in advance.

when you say you installed marshmallow, do you mean you rooted it and did this manually ?

thats weird, apparently some apps are intentionally restricted to regions/certain devices for bureaucratic reasons, ironically it seems there is a way to install these apps but you need to be rooted :)

It's not restricted in my country. My friend has installed this app in his phone (Samsung Galaxy J5).

 

P.S. I don't want to root my device.

What carrier are you on? What one is your friend on?

 

i think I know the answer

i like trains 🙂
