It is standard practice for updated apps to no longer support older operating systems. This is the case for 麻豆社 Sounds and 麻豆社 iPlayer, as well as apps by other companies and organisations. Supporting older operating systems is very costly and does not represent good value for money for licence fee payers, given the relatively small number of users we have still using those older operating systems.
However, in the majority of cases users who have older devices which cannot be upgraded can still use the 麻豆社 Sounds website at bbc.co.uk/sounds. More details are available here: Can I use 麻豆社 Sounds on my mobile or tablet?
