We've all come across incompatible apps. This normally happens when your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't running the latest operating software, so apps aren't designed for it anymore. Without updating your device — which isn't always an option — it looks as though you can't download any new apps.

Why can't I install apps?

If you can't download any apps you may wish to uninstall “Google Play Store app Updates” via Settings → Applications → All (tab), scroll down and tap “Google Play Store”, then “Uninstall updates”. Then try downloading apps again.
