The last iOS for iPhone 4 was 7.1.2 and cannot go any higher. So you cannot use this application.

All companies stop software support as the hardware cannot handle it. I have an three year old android tablet I can't use Netflix on and many more apps as the software cannot be updated. Also there is plenty of affordable options like the iPod Touch (6th Generation), iPhone 5s, or iPhone 6 which can all get the latest iOS 11. Many carriers still have the 5s or 6 and there majorly marked down now.
