I'm a new NetFlix user and I want to watch NetFlix on my 1st generation iPad. THe current NetFlix app available in the App store requires a minimum of IOS 6. The iPAD 1 maxes out at IOS 5.1.1.? Is there any way to obtain an older version of the app that is support in the iPAD 1?
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
Brilliant. Thank you so much for helping me with this. Like Savagewv, I too searched everywhere, and even contacted Netflix support. You are the only person that has ever been able to answer this question with a valid solution. It's a long way around a simple problem, but it works. Shame on the App Store and many thanks to flambocious!
wow, that worked! thank you! now on to YouTube!
This worked perfectly! Thank you! I had to sign out of the iTunes store in the Settings and then force quit the App Store before I could log back in and eventually be allowed to download Netflix from the Purchased list. Then it prompts me to download the last compatible version for my iOS.
Done and Done!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! MY 5 YEAR OLD WILL BE SO HAPPY TO HAVE NETFLIX ON HER IPAD!
You are a god among men, thank you.
Thank you. I'm so pleased to learn this work around. It worked virtually perfectly. The initial install of the app after returning to the iPad stalled. I just deleted it, and then reinstalled with no problem.
So annoying though that iTunes didn't offer to load a compatible version in the first place.
I will now try the same process with other apps that I've been unable to install under ios 5.0.1.
Perfect, thank you, i didnt think it was possible as other apps would not work so I had not tried it. Will be great for me having netflix on the ipad, thanks again !
this solution still works MAy 2016!
You guys rock, worked great! Thank you!

Is is possible to get a Netflix app for 1st generation iPad, IOS 5.1.1.?
