Mainly use it for reading books but if you've got an app installed on another iOS device, go to the purchased tab and it'll download the last supported version. This worked for Netflix on mine. The other option which I've also done is to JB it and install the ipa/deb files manually. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350663-re-purpose-old-tech/#findComment-2776085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcaneRhapsody Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 On 10/23/2023 at 4:42 PM, STLVNUB said: Most Apps Won't Install Have you thought about jailbreaking the iPad? I mean, it can open up a world of apps and customization options that you wouldn't have access to otherwise. It could help you make the most out of your iPad 2. You could also try to explore 'vintage' or 'legacy' app sections in third-party app stores I think. Some of these platforms still offer older versions of apps that are compatible with devices like the iPad 2. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350663-re-purpose-old-tech/#findComment-2814352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
