Thank you for this article! NetFlix lives again on my resurrected 3G running albeit slowly iOS4. Thank you. I got a compatible version of Skype for my iPod 4th gen!!! Thank you so much! It's really work for me, the workaround. The App requires iOS 7 so it won't let me download it from the App store.
I tried getting the app on my computer then installing it on my synced device to get an older version but the message asking me if I want to install the older version never comes up. It only says that I need iOS for the app to download. I had the previous version of the app on my ipod up until 10 min ago before I deleted it to download the new one before I knew that I needed iOS 7 for the app , but I don't know if I have ever backed up my ipod before to try to downgrade the current app.
Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch. Note that not all apps offer older versions. If you don't have the app in your iTunes library on your computer, then the older version is lost, sorry. Dear Apple Club, I have the older version of an app on my 1st gen I pad.
What I am trying to do is to get this particular app onto my new I pad air. I have DL'd the app from I tunes when I synced my devices, but the version that showed up on my Air, did not have any of my data on it from the older version although I logged in.
Could you advise me step by step as to how to resolve this problem? I asked the app developers, but I think they are from a foreign country and are not getting back with me. If I didn't really love this app I wouldn't mess with it. Thanks bunches! There are different ways that apps store data, and we probably wouldn't have knowledge of a particular app, so you'll probably have to wait for a reply from their support. I have an app, Music Tube, that I have updated twice since the version I like, and last night I was able to go back to the most previous version using a video on Youtube, which I think showed the same way.
Is it possible to go back to the version before it? If I can't do it on my own computer, I told my cousin about it. Maybe she hasn't updated it since then, but she might of. Enjoying Spotify right now, not as fancy as the latest version I can see in my android mobile but oh I don't mind. It's the Music that matters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When Yahoo Weather added ads I tried this method of local installation to get around it. It worked! This works brilliantly! These instructions are a lot better than Apple's as they assume you already own the app! By Jonika. Instagram used to let download the last compatible version with my ios6 4th gen iPod and now it won't let me redownload.
Instead of the message being:the newest version requires ios7 but the latest compatible version can be downloaded, and then it giving me the option to download the other version it just tells me: this application requires ios7 to be opened and used and the only option below is ok Please Help.
I just now downloaded Instagram on iOS 6 without issue - the older version was still offered. Do you have an existing copy of the app that you are trying to update? Are you using a different Apple ID than when you downloaded it before? Both of these could be the cause of not being offered an older version. When was the last time you downloaded it successfully?
I have the exact same problem as jonika r. I had Instagram on my iPod 4th gen and I deleted it like usual but this one time it didnt pop up the option to download the last compatible version.
I am still using the same exact apple ID as before but same problem it only tells me that the app requires ios7 or later still no option to download the last compatible version.

If you synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, there's a chance the old version may still be there. By john. Very helpful.

In addition to still signing the last iOS releases for those devices, you can still download software for them — assuming you know where to look.
Maybe you're hanging on to an older iOS device or maybe you just got a great secondhand bargain. Either way, you can't update the device to the latest iOS and so you also can't download the latest versions of your apps. Since the App Store only ever shows you the latest versions, it looks as if you're stuck unable to get your old apps back.
Yet you can do it, and you can do it easily — if you know where to look. Open the App Store on this older device of yours and then tap on the Purchased button. As great as older iOS devices are, they are older and they are usually slower so this won't be quick. Especially not as you need to wait until the complete list of your previously purchased apps is displayed. Once the list is complete — and all the icons have displayed too — search for the app you want.
Just tap on that iCloud download icon and you're done — or very nearly. The trick here is to wait. And maybe wait for a considerable time, too. Don't tap away, don't leave the App Store, just wait. After some amount of time, the App Store will display a notification saying that no, you can't have this app because it doesn't work with the version of iOS that your device has.
However, it will also offer to let you download a previous version. This is a really smart feature from Apple because it offers you this compatible version but it also makes sure that you're getting the newest that you can. If an app has been updated five times a year, you'd struggle to know which was the very latest you could use but Apple knows and Apple tells you.
Apps get updated for a reason. You're not going to have the same experience with an older version of an app on an older device than you will with a newer setup.
