You can’t unhide it, but you can go, to the App Store and download it again. If you do that and you see “Open” instead of the download icon, that means that it is on your iPad, so you will have to search for it.


Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to invoke Spotlight search. Type the name of the app in the search field. When it appears it will up show the name of the folder to the right of the app icon that it is in, if you buried it in a folder.


If it isn’t in a folder, you will have to swipe from screen to screen to find it.
