iPad, iOS 9
Youtube needs iOS 11 or later
Netflix needs iOS 12 or later
Cash app needs iOS 12 or later
There is no lower version of these apps.
3rd gen iPad can only run iOS 9
4th gen Ipad can only run iOS 10
So there is way to get any of them apps on your currently devices
When app developers pull their older versions from the App Store, there is no way to get them. All of those developers have decided not to support older iOS releases and have pulled their compatible apps for those older iOS releases.
Apple ended update support for iPad2 and iPad3 in September 2016. These devices cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular); they cannot be updated to iOS 10 or later versions, as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements for new versions of iOS/iPadOS.
Similarly, update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model 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.
The 32-bit architecture for all these devices is effectively obsolete. Later versions of iOS/iPadOS are all designed to run on 64-bit hardware.
Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more 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 entry-level iPad7 supports current iPadOS 13.x and soon to be released iPadOS14 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that will vastly outperform the old 32-bit models of iPad.
YouTube should still be accessible using a web browser from your older devices - but only via a third-party portal service:
I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the limitations of your olde device - and your options.
Need older apps for older iOS version
