A:

That message is correct; a device running iOS 6.1.6 isn't compatible with iOS 7 or above. If desired, download the current version of those applications to a computer or newer iOS device, click here, and try following the instructions.

    The apps are not compatible with the version of iOS running on your device. iOS 7 and 8 require a 5th generation iPod Touch or higher. Your iPod is as up to date as it's going to get. You will not be able to  run apps that require newer versions of iOS.
