apps for ios 4.2.1

I have bought two of my children second hand ipods, 2g i beleive (but vwere advertised as 3g) for xmas (last of the big spenders i know but in my defense i do have 6 kids!) only to discover that no apps appear to work with them. they are thoroughly disapointed, as am i, but surely there must be some still available that will work? is there a list anywhere of compatible apps for ios 4.2.1?

all i can find on the www is to get apps the ipod must be jailbroken and im not brave enough to attempt that!

hope somewone can help, many thanks in advance, carol

Thank you! That did the trick. I was looking for a simple app to play "white noise" to get my baby to fall asleep using my old 2G iPhone, and this did it! I searched manually at first but almost all apps that popped up on the AppStore kept saying "You need. 6.0 or you need 7.1"..so it got annoying really quickly. I even tried following a manual online that would allow my old 2G iphone to operate like a new iPhone...nope, just a headache that wouldnt restore the phone as promised. So this was a simple solution. Thanks so much!

I have spent a LOT of time in the app store and have compiled a long list of apps in my notes section of what apps I can download. There are a lot of lite version apps on the list, but I didn't have the money to purchase the full version, but most of the full versions are compatible as well. Here's the list. There is about 100 apps here, I think.
