This is an error most of us come across to when we are trying to download an app. The catch with this problem is that it will not go away if you just try downloading it again. This is why you will need to check into settings.

First of all let me tell you that the problem is with Google Play itself and not because of individual users. This is why I am hoping it will be taken care of in the near future. For the time being, the below given instructions may help:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on Application Manager or Apps (the name will differ depending upon your device)
- Swipe to the All Column
- Scroll down to Google services framework
- Choose Clear data and then OK
This will get rid of the problem. However, in case this does not help, go to the Google Play site on your PC and from here install the app that is giving you so many issues. Once you have done that, go back to your device – the installed app should work now.
