You're going to be hard-pressed to find outdated iOS apps except maybe from the developer. I recently ran across an app in the App Store that only needed iOS 5.1.1 iirc, so first check to see if the App Store version still supports your older iOS version.
Also check your backups from your iOS device if you ever had the app before -- I once decided to revert an old iPhone 4 to iOS 6 from iOS 7 and an old iTunes backup also restored all the apps I had at the time.
Otherwise, it may be time to start looking at getting a more recent device that can run more recent versions of the apps.
I'm trying to get email responses from Tinder but to no avail. The App store does not support anything less than iOS 7 nowadays. I've never had that app installed before so I can't do a restore to it and get that pop up that says download a version compatible with my iPhone.
I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7 as I don't like the bubble gum and pixie stix little kid graphics of these new iOS and OSX platforms. With Tinder being so popular, there has got to be some old versions downloadable from somewhere on the net and me trying to do a manual install, no?
I felt the same way about iOS 7 until I used it for a day.
You can tilt at windmills all you like, but as you're discovering now you either move forward with Apple eventually or you find a platform that doesn't change. Hint: no such platform exists. If the developer doesn't offer a version of Tindr for your outdated iOS version, that's that.
I can't upgrade cause I have all of my iOS devices synced up with my iTunes 10.7 in OSX 10.6.8 and all of the other OSX's after SL are total junk so I'm happily locked in to using these platforms forever. Tiner developers aren't going to give out an old ipa file they will just say the same thing, upgrade. But that is just an easy cop out, there has to be plenty ipa files out there from any user that has an old version in a backup file or wherever, especially a popular app like Tinder. I can still find plenty of Android-based old Tinder apps but for some reason the iOS ones are harder to find?...Does anyone have one of these older ipa files?

With that attitude you're not going to get any help from these forums. Member chas_m gave you some good advice, if you wish to ignore it, that's fine. But we're through here.
