Solitaire game not opening on iPad Air A1474

I have an ipad air wifi model no A1474 that until now has been working fine. Since I bought the ipad many moons ago I have had a solitaire game on it and have played it every day using the daily games, a few days ago the app stopped opening. The icon is there on the screen but nothing happens, I know this is a small thing to worry about but I do not like change and I cannot find out where I got the app, I am even thinking of getting a new ipad in case it comes with the game already installed. Any help will be appreciated.

There is no solitaire game included with an iPad, so you must have gotten it from the App Store at some point. Go to your Purchase History:


  1. Open the App Store app.
  2. Tap the Sign-In button or your photo at the top of the screen.
  3. Tap Purchase History. You might be asked to sign in. You will also probably need to change the date range.


and if the game is still available, you'll see it listed there. If is it, you can try deleting it and reinstalling, though if it's an old app, it may not have been updated to be compatible with newer versions of iPadOS. If that's the case, you can try contacting the developer, but that may not help or they may have gone out of business.


Regards.

I found it thank you varjak although it still doesnt open. I downloaded it on 11 March 2021 and beside it says "open" but when I click it nothing happens. I have gone into it a bit more and it says on version history that there were Performance Improvements done 2 weeks ago which is when my problems started. Its a case of if it aint broke dont fix it.
