You Can Finally Find Out If Your Android Phone Is Compatibile With That App

A problem that has plagued Android Market was that you didn’t really know if an Android app would work with your Android phone. Google has rolled out a device compatibility check in the Android Market website to solve that. [Android Market via Android Central]

    Unfortunately, ‘compatible with’ is not the same as ‘properly works on’.

    It says Shoot Bubble Deluxe is compatible with my Galaxy Tab 10.1v, but the way it zooms to fit the screen makes it look rubbish.

    This really doesn’t help at all.

      I’m sure you’ll find that its a problem that effects a lot of apps. If they app resolution hasn’t been optimised for a tablet screen, then its doomed to look crap.

    Could you imagine the amount of people that would be whining were it Apple taking so long to do something so basic?

    This app would run a lot fast if the developer just took the “Hello World!” sample app replaced the words with “No!”. Compile. Market place.
