Sometimes, the Google Play Store might cause you some trouble. We are here to give you a series of solutions on how to make the Google Play Store work again.

That’s where you’ll find a list of networks. If you don’t find good ones, just wait until you’re on your home network – it’s safer, and you won’t waste time.
Sometimes, you might encounter problems when trying to install an app with the help of the Wi-Fi network. Try to switch to the mobile data and then try again to install the app. If this works without any problems, you might have some problems with your network.
