Compatable with your device

After finding an app in play store on my laptop, under the "install" word it states: "This app is compatible with all of your devices." Click on those words and your devices are displayed. Well, sort of. My tablet shows, a phone I don't use shows, and one I do use does not show. I have dug around but can not seem to find how to delete the wrong phone and get the store to show the correct one. The tablet has and account and the correct phone another account. The unused phone should not be there.
A "fix."?
 
In your web browser if you click on the gear icon in the top right there will be an Android Device Manager option, you can view your devices there and edit them.

Hi

You need to be logged into playstore with an account that is on the phone in question. Top right click on your picture icon and change to the account on the phone you are trying to see (or add the first account to the phone)

I'm not sure that there is a way to fully delete a device from your Google account, which is a constant source of moaning for a lot of tech bloggers who regularly rotate through review units.

I will work on that.

So far I think you have found the answer. Phone will not "go away."
Thanks for the info.
