I have an s8+ phone and a Galaxy S3 tablet both running Android 8.0.0. On my phone I can download and use both the Barclays banking app and the LBC Radio App but the S3 says they are incompatible. Samsung support say it's because I do not have the SIM version of the S3 which sounds a load of cobblers to me. I turn off mobile data on my phone and both apps still work which I think disproves their statement. They have told me to take it back to the retailer and change it for the sim version. That sounds like more money to me.
Anyone else come across this problem?

Hey @Sabrerattler
If the apps are not downloading on your Tab it may be that they are only mobile compatible and do not have tablet versions.
Say "hello!" and Introduce Yourself, or virtually hangout in the Samsung Lounge

Just found out from Barclays that the app is incompatible (won't work!) with android tablets. Wishes I'd known that when I bought the S3. The two apps I use most won't work on Samsung tablets. They should advise what works and what doesn't at point of sale. Going to have to sell the tablet and go back to IPad. Damned inconvenient.

It is just damned frustrating I'm afraid. I do need online banking on my tablet and listen to LBC for long periods each day. I moved from Apple iPad to the S3 on the basis of reviews. No point going back to the retailer after 9 months, they won't do anything. Just going to have to sell my S3 and get an iPad. All works on those.
