It's correct. A fourth generation iPod touch isn't capable of running iOS 7 or above.


If desired, download the current version of those applications to a computer or compatible iOS device, click here, and try following the instructions.

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

Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

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.
