iOS 5.1.1 iPad 1st Gen Apps

Hello marlonmen2x,

Please check out this link, which outlines how to get apps and games on iPad, and may help: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad

How to get apps

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.

2. Browse through the Today, Games, Apps, or Arcade tabs to find apps you like. Or tap the Search tab to look for something specific. If you find a game that says Arcade, subscribe to Apple Arcade to play the game.

3. Tap or click the price or Get button. If you see the Open button instead of a price or Get button, you already bought or downloaded that app.

In the App Store, if an app has a Get button instead of a price, the app is free. You won't be charged for downloading a free app. Some free apps offer in-app purchases and subscriptions that you can buy. Subscriptions and in-app purchases give you access to more features, content, and more.

Thanks!

The first generation iPad - along with iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 are all long-ago obsolete 32-bit devices - all having been superseded by 64-bit architecture devices and software.

You need to consider that compatible Apps for older models of iPad are increasingly difficult to find - as App Developers have dropped all support for 32-bit devices and many for iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13. All 32-bit Apps have been withdrawn from the Apple App Store - significantly limiting the usefulness and utility of your old iPad.

As such, if you want or need to access most current Apps, requiring more recent versions of iOS than your iPad is capable, you’ll need to consider replacement of your iPad with a newer or current model. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad9 has specifications and capabilities that will massively outperform you current iPad - and is compatible with the vast majority of current Apps. Other models are more powerful still.
