Why can't I download certain apps

[AC Question]

I have come across a few apps that I want and that are made for droid (e.x. wickr). However it says that the apps are not compatible on my phone. Why are these apps not compatible?

Welcome to Android Central! There can be a lot of reasons why an app isn't compatible, mostly having to do with hardware. It might be screen resolution, chipset incompatibility, or other vaguely unspecified things.
