Apps aren't always compatible with every device. The S4 is pretty old, so it's very possible it doesn't have the right hardware and/or firmware specs for Minecraft.

Are you saying that none of your games show up on the S4 if you open the Play Store, tap Menu>My Apps>Library?

It's possible that you had an older version of Minecraft installed that was compatible, and the only version available now is no longer compatible.

You didn't answer my other question about any of your other games showing up in the My Apps section of the Play Store app. If nothing else shows up there, then it could be that (a) you have the wrong Google account on the Play Store, or (b) your Google account isn't syncing properly with the Play Store.

I have an old Galaxy S4 and it's not working for me too. I guess the phone is too old

The S4 was 4 years old at the time this thread was created, 3 years ago. Yes, it's old and the OS is no longer supported by Google for Google Play Services which underpins much of the OS and apps. Yes, the phone is too old.
