This is very simple for me, but for some people who tried everything to install and download and nothing happens maybe you just seek for assistance in your problem.
It installs, but when it asks me to open, it closes the google play store window
Seems to me, Google should make it a lot easier for people that sell apps on their store…
Clear your cache and try again.
It just closes when i try to open it.REALLY ANNOYING!!! Does it work on your Phone or anyone elses!!! PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell me the version of Android your phone runs on and the version of play Store you installed? Can you try updating the app and see if it will work because that one may have been outdated? You should also ensure you have memory space on your device as this can also be the cause.
