Lastest Version does not support old MAC

I am currently using macOS 10.13, and after the recent update, I’m no longer able to use the app. It seems the required macOS version may be higher than necessary for basic functionality. Is there any way to download and continue using a previous version of the app? If possible, I would greatly appreciate the option to roll back to an older version. Thank you for your assistance.
