The problem seems to be that the iphone 4 is so old, none of the apps will work on it's OS. Is there any sort of workaround? My knowledge of Apple stuff is limited.
There is kind of a goofy way to get the last app compatible with an old iOS version. Go to the app store on a web-browser of some other interface that isn;t the phone, purchase/get the required app, then open the App store on the iphone, and try to download it. It should then offer to allow you to download the most recent compatible app instead.
It might be the iphone 4 is so old that this won't work, but I have the SE and it runs the latest OS, so who knows?
