Tap the App giveaway? I'd like to punch the app in the face!

Since when is it a best practice to deny access to people who are two revisions behind the latest IOS, including all owners of older iPhones and iPads. My iPhone 4 works perfectly on IOS9 and this is the first time I've encountered an app I can't even download.

My wife has an iPhone 6, so I gave that one a shot. After about 6 minutes of the most infuriating app signup process I've ever experienced, I gave up. I must have clicked over 50 squares to prove I'm not a robot over and over again. Meanwhile the app claimed that my zip code was missing and would not accept anything I entered in that field. Maybe someone decided they didn't want to give anything away, and breaking the app was a way to accomplish that?

Choice has found a novel way to give away money and alienate customers at the same time!
