Re: Problem with the new Walmart app

You don't, Walmart has to. It's possible that they set the wrong maximum or minimum Android version for the app. It works fine (I just updated it (on my old Note 3 running KitKat).

Welcome to Android Central! Is your S7 edge a US version or an international version?

Also, send an email to the Walmart app developer and ask them if this is an error on their side: androidapp@walmart.com

Walmart updated their app recently. That may have caused a few problems - most likely in the maximum version of Android that it can be used with. (Typos happen.)

Walmart App

When attempting to update my walmart app on my galaxy 7 it gave me a message saying my device is not compatible...is there a fix? I've emailed walmart, been to my carrier, talked with Google no one has an answer

Re: Walmart App

Walmart recently updated their app. After the number of complaints I've seen (and years as a developer) I suspect that someone made a typo, probably in the maximum version of Android the app can run on. It still runs fine in 4.4.2 and 6.0.1, the only versions I have, but it seems to not work on 8 (Oreo). Eventually (maybe) they'll fix it. (It took them about 2 years to fix the Sam's app. The app worked, but the store's end didn't.)

I found a fix, set your resolution to max and wipe the google play data this worked for me

My Walmart app was extremely slow so I uninstalled it and when I went to install it again it said that my Samsung Galaxy S7 was not compatible. I have now lost all my receipts and orders and prescriptions. I really hope this is just temporary and I'll be able to get all that information back

Uninstall the app. Clear your cache partition. Reboot. Reinstall.

Wal-Mart app on my Samsung galaxy s7

I have had the Walmart app on my phone for years and I noticed the last couple of weeks it's been sluggish so I uninstalled it and went to reinstall it and it says that my device is not compatible. I have lost all my receipts, my order history and my prescriptions. I really hope this is just a temporary issue. I cleared my caches and my cookies and I rebooted my phone and it still will not let me download the Walmart app. It gives me the same message, thay this device is not compatible

Merged a number of threads about this issue.

 

[Rognsharon]

I did what you suggested and it still says it's not compatible

I was able to download the app apk directly from an apk mirror site. I allowed it to install (had to allow unknown sources) and it opened fine. So i am not sure what that means programming-wise. the error seems to be the Play store thinking the phone isnt compatible.

I'm still getting the not compatible message for the Walmart app. What's the deal???

So glad to hear that I am not alone on this. I have been dealing with this same issue for my Kohls app for the last month. 2 days ago I went to reinstall my Walmart app and there it was, the incompatible message. I could not believe it. How do we fix this??

 

[Rukbat]

Just as an update to my previous posts. I had no problem installing the Walmart app on my new Pixel 2, running 8.1. And it works - I've set it up, the camera comes up, etc.

Evidently it's just incompatible, for one reason or another (it seems to claim to be incompatible with Elizabeth Carles' setup, but it works anyway) that has nothing to do with whether it actually is or not.

As far as fixing it, enable the apk mirror, download the apk from there and tap the apk file in a file manager (if you don't know how to install an app from an apk file - those who do can ignore this). But check the functions you're going to use before going to the store. Standing there trying to pay with an app that doesn't work can be a bit annoying. (No, you can't check out the paying part, but make sure it takes your CC info, and that the camera opens when it should.)
