Update support for your iPad4 (WiFi Only) formally ended September 2017. The final IOS releases iPad4 were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions.
Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Loss of support for many App titles is now making the utility and usefulness of older iPads increasingly limited.
If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Even the basic current iPad7 model supports current iPadOS 13.x - and has hardware specifications that will vastly outperform your old iPad4.
I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating your current options.
