Is there a version of WHIZ Weather for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 9 or later. Version 5.7.2018 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 8.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 5.7.2018 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
