IOS 9/9.02/9.02 killed my ipad.

What do I do now. Every IOS version 9 has been worse then before. I have 9.02 now and the ipad takes ten mins to boot. When it comes up I try any app such as news and it fails to start and the ipad reboots itself. How can I restore prior to ios 9?

iPad 2, iOS 7

Hi! Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settingshttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559If this does not help, restore your device to factory settings. Note that this will erase the data from your device.Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try the DFU mode:

Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds
Press the Home button while holding the Power button and hold both for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button, but KEEP HOLDING the Home button.
After about 15 seconds, iTunes will tell you it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.
Restore your device
