"This app not compatible with your device." Mind you, this is a Galaxy S24 Plus. What gives, WQXR?

What is wrong with you people!! I've had the app on my Android for years, and all of as sudden it's not compatible?? You're losing audience and wondering why. Dumb. And I'm a high end monthly donor. Come on!.
