How can I find a game app I can't remember on my iPad?

Kind of a shot in the dark, but try copy-pasting your description of the app into one of those AI apps or websites like Chat GPT or Poe.com. I’ve seen people find apps and movies that way before, that they forgot the actual name of.

Open the App Library on the iPad.

Go to the last screen on the iPad… continue to swipe to the right to open the App Library. Touch bottom right icon to bring up all the games on the iPad. If the game is on the iPad it will show up in the list of games.

If you do not see it in your Purchase History, then it is no longer made available by the Developer in the App Store. You would not be able to redownload an app that is no longer available, even if you previously had it.

Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support

Sorry I can't be more helpful in identifying the app. Just wanted to set your expectations that even if you were able to find the name of the app, if is likely not possible to be redownloaded since you also do not find it in your purchase history. That would be an indication that the Developer has removed the app. Since you are able to identify the time frame to March 2024, finding it in your Purchase History should be fairly easy if it was still available.

Yeh I wondered that. Thats a down side when updating the IOS, some games are old and you lose them 🥺

Nope, is has nothing to do with updating your iOS version. Games are removed by the developer when they choose to no longer support them. They are not removed from your device when you update the iOS. In fact, when a game is removed by the developer it will remain on your device through updates in the iOS version, but if you delete the game, erase your device or change devices, it will no longer be able to redownload from the App Store, since it is no longer there.
