'Gateway Timeout' means the server acting as a gateway or proxy didn't receive a timely response from another server it needed to access to fulfill your request (installing the app). This indicates a breakdown in communication *between* servers, not necessarily a problem with your device or the app itself, but a problem with the infrastructure supporting the app store.
