Hello Clembak,
I am sorry to hear that you can't find your apps that you have downloaded from the App Store. Let's see if we can help you find them.
One way to locate them is to use the Search feature on your iPad. Just swipe down anywhere on the home screen and type in the name. When you locate the app and it is in a folder, it will let you know what folder it is in.
Search with Spotlight

Another way to launch the app is actually in the App Store itself. Search for the app and if it is installed, it will have a button next to it that says Open. Tap that and the app will launch. If you do not see the Open button but see a Download icon
, you tap that to download the app to your iPad.
