Pokémon Go keeps crashing on Android?

[AC Question]

I recently installed Pokemon Go on my Galaxy Tab 4.4.2. So the game starts up and I enter my birthdate and sign up with my account, and then the game just crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Welcome to AC!
I assume you did not download it from playstore. It needs Android 4 4 4 at least.

Actually, I've been trying to get it working on my son's galaxy tab 4 with 4.4.2 and it IS in the store, we just can't get past the customize your avatar stage without it crashing

MothrOfPenguins, I have the same issue with my Daughter's tab. All other research I have done says you have to have 4.4 or higher and she has the 4.4.2 as well. So am hoping by responding here it will get noticed again and we can possibly get an answer. My daughter would really love to play this game.
