    The only place that you might be able to get it is the App Store, some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps (don't know if Netflix do). Try downloading the current version of the app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

    Netflix does in fact have the old version of their app available.

     

    In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPad has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPad, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it. Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X
