Hi @djs44 / Derek and welcome to SGL. 

What phone/tablet is it and what version of Android OS is it using/running?

I have been having a few issues lately myself with a few ‘google’ apps not updating via the ‘play store’.

Have you tried SkEye? - I use the free version and works for me, though it does give me a warning about an “Extremely strong magnetic field nearby!” when it is in its slip-case.

.APK is the android installer package. Download a file explorer from play store then open the APK with it.

Might need to Google ' allow non play store apps' before it will install though.

Hi Derek.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message as it is displayed/shown on your tablet/phone?

If you wish to run Android OS apps via MS-Windows, you need to have ‘BlusStacks’ installed on the host PC.

You eem to be trying to install the android app from your pc, this is why you keep getting error messages like the one above. Have you tried installing the app directly onto your phone from the site ?

ps I keep getting security error messages when I use the link or search for the site from google. I wouldn't trust that site.

Try google play - that has a free 'lite' version and a paid version - which one on the site you have shown does not say.

Also, have you disabled or enabled from Unknown sources in the settings tab - sometimes this may cause apps not to download/install.

The version i was trying said was it is compatible with my phone the ones on google play say my phone is not compatible.Beginning to wonder if my phone is the problem
