App icons not showing up

[Android Central Question]

As an example, when I go to the google play store and get a solitaire app, no icon appears on any screen on my phone so I can't play it. I have a dozen solitaire games that show up on my apps list but can't get the icons onto a screen where I can find it. This happens with a lot off other apps that never become available to me. Maddening!

What device?

Anything unusual? Stock launcher? SD card for app storage?

Welcome to Android Central! So when you bring up your App Drawer, you can't find it?

To make it easier, try long-pressing any empty part of the homescreen, select Home Screen Settings, then look for an option to automatically add app shortcuts for newly installed apps.
