So I am going to buy one of the Philips Hue starter kits soon and I was now looking at the Hue app in google play store but I wasn't able to download it, why?? It says incompatible whit the system.
Do I need to own the Hue starter kit before i can start to download the app or is my phone to old?
I have a Samsung galaxy ace 4 and its about 3-4 years now. I don't have any other problems whit apps i downloaded so far. Please, help me!

check what version of Android your phone has and what version is required by Hue. That may be the incompatibility problem.

I found my Android version its 4.4.4, but cannot find anywhere the required version for the hue app. Can i possibly update my android OS?

Alright, I have tried now whit the updater in Settings -> About phone -> Update but when it was finished whit the update it still said 4.4.4 on the version section. I looked at some videos were people updated there android version from older to latest and they downloaded installers from a page that wasn't android or Samsung or something reliable. So I decided that It's probably time to get a new phone and also, I found a program/app on my computer so I can at least get started whit Philips Hue!
