Being new to android I was wondering why when an apps says compatible with 2.3 and up why on my S3 it says incompatible in the play.google store

There are random exceptions to the rule, usually for screen size. It may not support the larger, more dense screens yet. This is often due to poor programming and not using Android's tools to properly create apps. Most often, it's based on Android version. That means it uses newer APIs not available in older versions.
