My Q app and phone compatibility problems

Periodically Liftmaster updates their MyQ App.  When they do update the app, they reference the more recent OS releases.  So currently, their app will only work on phones with android OS 5.0 version or higher.  They apply the same practice to iPhone updates.  So if you have a phone running an earlier release you cannot load the app on your phone.  My wife and I have the same phones running OS 4.4.2.  The My Q app was added to her phone last year.  It still works.  But when I recently tried to add the app to my phone, an error message pops-up that reads “Your device isn’t compatible with this version”.  So my phone can’t use the app but my wife’s phone has the app that was loaded before the new Liftmaster update and it works.  This is not a good practice by Liftmaster.  If I want the convenience of the app I have to get a new phone because my phone carrier says they are not releasing a new OS version for my phone.  Liftmaster’ssolution is for me to log-on to the website each time I want to open or close my garage door and of course that makes the notification feature worthless.   Someone at Liftmaster is not thinking this through.
