[Liverpool] Android version and apps availability on the app market

[Sebastian Arcus]

Thanks to everybody who answered.

Anybody knows if the, effectively, system requirements for each app are 
accessible in some way? Is there a way to check what resolution, OS 
version etc. each app is expecting? Or is it a bit of "test and guess" 
kind of thing?

Sebastian
