Downloading iMovie

You could download iMovie from the App Store in 2020, and if you are using an older iPad, I recommend you download iMovie first on newer iPadOS device. Then, open the older iPad, and open the App Store. In the apps store, you could see a 'Purchased' bar or 'Purchased' bar in the Updates section. If you are using iPadOS 13 or later, click on your Apple ID icon on the top right corner of your screen. Click purchased, and click on My Purchases. Search or find iMovie there. Anyways, no matter which iPad OS you are using, click on 'Purchased' and search for iMovie. You should have it there. When you click the 'cloud' sign, that means you are downloading the app from iCloud. Click on 'Download' after a banner that says 'do you want to download a previous version of this app?'. And there you have it!

To my devices, iMovie did not download in previoud iPads. I don't know why, but i tried several times.

Sincerely

These old iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are nearing 8 and 9-years old, now.

The 2011 iPad 2 is already over 9-years old!

As of the beginning of 2019, many, MANY third party app developers are all more quickly and completely permanently 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, as well as Apple 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.

By year's end, all of these 8 to 9-years old iPad models will become completely obsolete.

Sorry & Good Luck to You!`
