Unable to delete an app from ipad

I downloaded a weather app (TMRWeather) but found it didn’t suit my needs. I was able to remove it from my iPhone but not my iPad. The little minus sign doesn’t come up and when I click on ‘Edit Home Screen’ the app image jiggles but doesn’t give me any other options.

would like some tips on removal (TMRWeather can’t help), hopefully without resetting the iPad. TIA

iPad, iPadOS 14

If you are experiencing difficulties with adding or removing Apps to/from your iPad, you need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow

Hello there Freedom-Mine,

Thank you for using apple discussions.

Go to settings > general > storage > scroll down to the app and click on it > then go to delete > then click delete.

Good day
