7th & 6th Generation iPod nano: Only Native Apps

The ipod nano does games and the ipod touch does apps. But im not an expert. I also own an ipod nano but am going to buy a touch. Btw i dont think you can download games for nano.

The most recent versions of the nano — the 7th- and 6th-generation models — present sort of a confusing situation for apps.

The operating system that runs on these models looks and acts a lot like the iOS, the operating system used on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Add a multitouch screen and Home button — on the 7th-gen. model, at least — and these models of the nano sure feel a lot like a miniature iPod touch. They seem so much like mini-touches that it's easy to assume that these iPods are running a version of the iOS and, therefore, should be able to run apps.

But appearances are deceiving. While the operating system on the 7th- and 6th-gen. iPod nanos look and act in a similar way, these nanos do not run iOS and therefore they don't support non-native apps. Plus, you can't get apps from the App Store that run on them.

The 7th- and 6th-generation iPod nanos ship with apps created by Apple. These include an FM radio tuner, pedometer, clock, and photo viewer. So, these ​nanos obviously can run apps, but they don't support any non-Apple apps created by external developers. There's also no jailbreak for these models that allows unofficial apps to be added.

For these models to support apps from independent developers, Apple would have to release tools and guidelines to support them. It would also need to provide some way for users to get and install the apps, like an App Store. Given ​that Apple officially announced the end of the entire iPod nano product line (along with the iPod Shuffle) in July 2017, it's a safe bet that this 'development' will never happen.

Games For Ipod Nano 5th Generation

Unlike the newer models, the 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-generation iPod nanos can run a limited number of non-native apps. They also come with some standard games. That said, these are not iPhone apps and these models don't run iOS, either. They are games specifically made for the nano by Apple. The three games included with these models were:

  • 4th and 5th generation: Maze, Klondike, Vortex
  • 3rd generation: iQuiz, Klondike, Vortex

People could add games and study tools that were available through the iTunes Store (this was before there was an App Store). These apps generally cost US$5 or less. There was never a huge number of these apps and games, and Apple removed them from the iTunes Store in late 2011. If you bought these apps for your nano in the past, you can still use them on models that support them.
