As Allan suggests it depends on the exact model of iPad you have.


If it does not have a camera, then it cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1


If it does it can go up to iOS 8.


With that said, you may be able to get compatible versions of Apps for iOS 5 by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer first, then following this support document from Apple:
