The hardware i the 4G prevents updating beyond iOS 6.1.6

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Hey Illaass, just to let you know, you cannot download the last compatible version on iOS 4.2.1. It's iOS 4.1.3 and later.

Huh?

You can download older versions on iOS 4.2.1, try it out.

It's iOS 4.1.3 and later.

iOS 4.2.1 is later than 4.1.3.

Thanks! I really don't know why I though 4.1.3 was later than 4.2.1. So I am trying it and when purchasing an app for $.99 even though I already purchased it on another iPod. Will it charge me again?

If you already own another version of the app, you will not be charged.

You will not be charged if you are using the same Apple ID you used when you first purchased the app
