Non responsive app

I have a Venus 7 tablet.  I tried to download an app (Starbucks), and I get a response that says "your device isn't compatible with this version".  Does anyone know a way around this problem?

    Thank you Chairszz.  I understand the download part, but where do I get the file name?  In other words, what do I ask Google to do?  Then there is the transfer part.  Guess I could do the search and download on the tablet (I think), but not sure how I would do the install part.

    Chairszz, as you probably gathered - I am a real novice at this.

    As info, Starbucks tells me that their app does NOT work on tablets.  Seems strange that it would work on Android phone but not a tablet.

    just search in you web browser "starbucks apk" when you decide on a website to dwonload it from  make sure the file says .apk in it

    just go here   http://www.1mobile.com/starbucks-96106.html   on your web browser on you tablet and download ths then click on it to install it. then try it out.

    thats pretty common more or less in the android app world, some apps  the app creators will only make it compatble with a smartphone but not with a tablet.

    if Starbucks have a website that you can manage your card on just use that for now till they release a tablet version.

    also to install non playstore apps you have to enable unknown sources.

    to do this go to settings/security/then check the box that says unknown sources
