Just like computers from 10 years ago, cannot run today's operating systems. Its just faster with small mobile devices, than computers.

In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the device has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your device, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
