Unfortunately I can't test with my Chromebook.

1. Signed into Chromebook using phethelp email
2. Went to Google Play store and searched "phet"
3. The app didn't appear when "This Device was selected in the dropdown"
4. The app appeared when I selected "Google Mediatek MT81" but it also says that my Chromebook isn't compatible and I was unable to download.

I was unable to test the oldest Android OS Tablet (8.1). I got a message that the device was not compatible.

QA is done. Not sure why I can't install the app on the OS 8.1, when I could last time. Spot check was fairly short.
