Different platforms have different app versions with different features and bugs.

Also hardware capabilities differ. What works on new hardware may not on old.

Android version matters too. Apps drop support for older Android versions.

What's the minimum Android version for modern streaming apps?

 

[Moderator_Max]

iOS minimum is usually iOS 14 or 15 now for newer app versions.

 

[SmartTVGuru]

Most major streaming apps require Android 5.0 (Lollipop) minimum. Some require 7.0.

My old iPad on iOS 13 can't run the latest app version.

 

[LauraApps]

Update your iPad OS or keep an older app version if you can.

 

[PaulHD]

Older app versions often remain functional even when newer version isn't compatible.

 

[EricNetPro]

The app working on phone proves the account and content are fine. It's device/platform.

Network could also differ between devices if one is wired and one wireless.

 

[JenStream]

Same network, different devices — then it's definitely the app version or hardware.
