I'm trying to download 'Netflix' to my iPad mini but It keeps telling me that the app is not compatible with the device. I have managed to download other apps and it seems to just be Netflix that isn't downloading. The device is updated to iOS 9.3.5 and there is no other software update that has shown up.
iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi
Netflix now requires iOS 11 or higher. Your iPad is too old, and under powered to run the now required 64 bit software for the newer iOS levels.
If you had owned the Netflix app previously, you can see if you can download it from your purchased app history in the App Store, Tap your Photo in the upper right hand corner, tap purchased, tap not on this iPad and if you've owned it previously, you may be able to download it there.
If you have never owned the Netflix app for iPad, and you want Netflix, then you need a newer iPad capable or running the newer iOS levels.

Do you own any other more recent iDevices with newer iOS versions?
A real computer to install iTunes on?
Older versions of Netflix may no longer to be downloaded, initially, from the iOS App Store, but there are a couple more things we can still attempt to try.
We can longer install the newest version of Netflix to a newer iDevice or iTunes 12.6.5, first, then attempt to install an older version of Netflix on our older devices, any longer?
Not even worth trying, now?
I believe iPad Mini 2’s can only support up to iOS 9.3.5
Try upgrading hardware for compatibility.

It's a 1st gen iPad Mini cannot be upgraded past iOS 9.3.5.
An iPad Mini 2 can only be supported until the last update of iOS 12.
Probably not. Was the only thing I could think of which could possibly work the OP.
These older devices are simply becoming unusable if an owner wants modern applications like Netflix, etc.
