Apart from this method, you can also rename devices as per your choice to organize your Play Store. For this, go to Google Play settings on the My Devices page. Click on the "Edit" option at the right-hand side of the screen, enter a new name and click the "Update" button. By this, you can download apps on shared accounts as well as organize multiple devices. In case, you download a new app then you get three options: the app is compatible with all of your devices, some of your devices, or none of your devices. When you click on one, it will display a drop-down menu with your newly organized device list.
