    You are correct.  The app version can only run on Windows 8 (or phones/tablets, etc).  However, you can use it from Windows 7 from their website here -- no download needed:  https://www.bible.com/bible/1/jhn.1.kjv

    Read my post more carefully.  I said 'no downloaded needed'.  You just go to the link and use it, you don't download anything at all.  It just "runs" as you use it.

    The company that built the app decided to build it using technology that only runs on Windows 8 and newer.  I can't change that, you'd have to call the company that built it and ask if they could make a version that works on older systems.  They might even already have an old version for systems prior to 8.
