Android & Windows for Airport Express?

Two telephones have appeared recently. One is a Lumia running Windows 10. The other is a Samsung running whatever the latest Android is. I'm looking for applications to connect these devices to the Airport Express. I tried to download 5kplayer to the Lumia, but the telephone reports--without explanation--that 5kplayer does not install on that telephone. On the Samsung I downloaded AppleTV AirPlay Media Player, but it connects to only Apple TV, not Airport Express.

Are there any apps for either device that connect to Airport Express?

Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

With Android devices, AirPlay streaming may be possible, but only with third-party applications.

Ref: How to Stream Anything from Android to AirPlay - Gizmodo

...and basically the same answer with Windows phones. You will need to use third-party apps to do so.

You may have better luck in getting app recommendations posting to either an Android or Windows phone support forum. Good luck!

What are you interested in doing with the AirPort Express from either device? That is, is the goal to stream audio from them to the base station or just connectivity for Wi-Fi access?
