Apple is not forcing you to update. The developer of that particular
app had decided to support only iOS 10.0 or later.
Contact the developer to see if a version supporting your iOS version
can be made available.
As an aside, it is advised to always update your iPhone to the latest
iOS it supports to get the latest security enhancements and other
operating improvements and new features.
