The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds app requiresÌýAndroid 7 or Fire OS 6 or above. It may be possible to update your device. Head to the relevant page to find out how to update the operating system on yourÌýdevice:

It is standard practice for updated apps to no longer support older operating systems. This is the case for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer,Ìýas well asÌýapps by other companies and organisations. Supporting older operating systemsÌýis very costly and does not represent good value for money for licence fee payers, given the relatively small number of users we have still using those older operating systems.
However, in the majority of cases users who have older devices which cannot be upgraded can still use the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds website at bbc.co.uk/sounds. More details are available here: Can I use ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds on my mobile or tablet?
