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

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.
