Well,
You own a nearly 8-year old iPad and it looks like Otsimo apps have moved on to iOS 11 and later, at some time unknown to me and you.
A nearly 8-year old iPad cannot be upgraded/updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/10.3.4/
Its internal hardware is too old, underpowered and completely incompatible with any of the current and future versions of iOS/iPadOS.
Sorry. It is what it is at this very late date, now here in the year 2020.
So, maybe that old version of Otsimo has been long out of date and no longer supported.
Monopoly is still supported on iOS 10, but just got a recent update on April 3, 2020.
So, make sure you have updated that Monopoly app to the latest version.
Then, try another simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
If still no joy, there isn’t anything left to do.
These old iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are nearing 8 and 9-years old, now.
As of the beginning of 2019, many, MANY third party app developers are all more quickly and completely dropping older app support for all old 7, 8 and 9-year iPads that are running 2-3 year old and earlier iOS versions ( iOS 10 and earlier ).
Third party app developers are removing all of their older, legacy versions of their apps from Apple's App Store servers, now.
Third party app developers no longer want to support these 8 and 9-year old or older iOS devices, any longer!
Older versions of apps are, soon, going to be gone for good, now!
Getting older versions of apps for these old iPad models, initially from Apple’s iOS App Store is getting very difficult and very problematic and this issue is getting, painfully, much worse in 2020, now!
These old iPads are now reaching their complete end of life and support.
So finding older versions apps for older iPads, while still possible, currently, will be a tough challenge, now, in 2020.
Old iPads that can no longer be upgraded/updated will have NO MORE APPS AVAILABLE for initial download, at all, soon, from the Apple iOS App Store, for such old iOS devices in the very near future.
Older versions of apps for these older iPads will be completely gone, at some point, in the very foreseeable future.
So, this is really now the time to seriously consider a new or discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple or other Apple authorised resellers.
A lot has happened with iPad and iOS in 7-9 years and in the past 2 to 3-1/2 years since iOS 9 and 10.
If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, as well as, the most current apps available, then, you need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website or a new or refurbished iPad from an Apple authorised, third party retail or online reseller OR other trusted sources for new or used Apple products.
As an example and compared to your older, 4th geniPad,
The baseline 2019, 10.2 inch screen 7th gen iPads have a 1/2 inch larger retina screen, newer, more powerful and nearly 2-1/2 times faster 2.3 Ghz, A10 Fusion processors, AT LEAST, 3-4 times the internal RAM, with the 2019, 7th gen iPad having 3 GBs of internal RAM, iPadOS 13 support, with much better and improved multitasking features, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart keyboard cover support and have better audio speakers and better/improved built-in cameras.
That's all I got.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

i am not sure what is happening.
You have an iPad 4th generation 32 GBs model with hardly any storage space being used and you use an app that slows to a crawl, then crashes.
Make sure the iOS background app switcher is NOT full of potential background running apps.
If there are a lot of apps in the iOS app switcher, quit them.
In Settings app, under General Settings, Go onto the Background App Refresh settings and either toggle off this feature for individual apps that do not need, necessarily, need their data refreshed in the background constantly.
OR
Toggle OFF Background App Refresh globally for every app on the iPad.
Also,
I would try a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
Can you give us the model number of this iPad from the back of this iPad in small print under the large printed “iPad”?
Also, in the Settings app, under General > About, tell us how much free internal data storage space is left inside of this iPad?
What is the exact name of this app as I was not able to find it in the iOS App Store, so I can check its software requirements?
Also, does this app require a constant WiFi connection, or not?
I don't many apps in my iPad.
Youtube, Otsimo and Monopoly (Boardgame).
A1458
Capacity : 28.86GB
Available : 26.14GB
I will try it.
It's stil the same. It slows to a crawl, then crashes.
