Or maybe it just gave you phone version and there is another for tablets. The developers on Play can decide what they want you to use if anything.

You might be able to backup the apk from your other android device and then use it on the S5. That is how I did with Donald Duck which was restricted to work only with real tablets (I have the superior Note3 btw). I installed it on my Nexus7 and then copied the apk to the note3. Worked like charm. However, dpi dependent programs might look little bit odd on wrong devices. I would personally like to spank all developers who do that.

You could also modify the device's dpi setting, but I understood it would require rooting the device. And that on modern Samsung device might mean losing the warranty.
