Hi Neil,

Yes, the iPhone4 is very limited now, you really need to upgrade to a newer 
iPhone.
It sounds you might have downloaded versions that are not compatible with your 
iPhone4

The following Knowledge Base article offers up the steps on how to install the 
latest ‘compatible’ version.
 
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or 
OS X - Apple Support <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201377>
 
To download an earlier version of an app, follow these steps:
Open the App Store or Mac App Store.
Go to the Purchased screen on your iOS device or the Purchases tab on your Mac.
Find the app and choose Download. You'll see a message telling you if a 
compatible version is available. Tap Confirm to install this version.
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app 
developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App 
Store or Mac App Store. 

Cheers,
Ronni
