Hi,


I used this lthe stock supplied app when first using a Nokia Lumia 520

It isn't google play which is for Android phones.

Which Nokia are you using. Is it a windows operating system phone.

Current Phone  >

Thank you for your reply

 

I am using a Nokia 635

 

If google play doesn't work with Nokia how do i download apps?

Absolutely brilliant and yet so obvious. Makes you wonder why nokia didn't tell this

 

It took me 3 days trying to install from google play

 

Again brilliant and many thanks

To be clear with a nokia you are not intalling any apps from google play

you are installing from the windows phone store

 

Google play is only available to devices running the android operating system 

 

your nokia 635 runs on the completely different windows phone operating system and is incompatable with google android apps

 

you will probably find that there are several apps that are standard on android or apples ios operating system that simply do not exist in the windows phone enviroment as the developers have chosen not to code them

Glad your now sorted.

You won't be the last to think Google play is available to Windows phones.

Enjoy your phone and it's features. 😎
