   While VanguardLH is correct, there's a trick to get around that   
   compatibility check which doesn't require root and which works well.   
      
   In summary, you can use the open source Google Play Store client (Aurora)   
   which allows you to spoof most phones and API levels & ARM architecture.   
      
   You can even use the open source Windows Google Play Store client, which is   
   especially useful for very old phones due to it's generic client spoofing.   
      
   I wrote a separate PSA on how to spoof your Android so that the Google Play   
   Store repository is tricked into showing you all the possible APKs   
   available so as to not derail this thread which is about a specific app.
