- why does it make a difference? To explain: I have an Amazon Fire, which runs on Android - as do many smartphones. But the mTickets app for First Bus apparently doesn't like being on a tablet; it's constantly complaining about not being able to access the server - and today when my Internet connection went down and the tablet forgot what year it is (it resets to Jan 1st 1970 of all dates), the app expired the monthly ticket I bought yesterday on account of 'clock tampering'!

It's the same operating system. It installed perfectly smoothly. So just what exactly is its problem? Why does it matter if an app's installed on a smartphone and a tablet when there really isn't that much difference between them?
