How do you update you app store it wont let me download apps

Can you describe issues in more details?

Have you tried to update your payment details?

Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

Turn your device off and back on. If this doesn't help, sign out from your account and sign back in.

Also, you can try resetting your settings.

• 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 Settings

If you have an account and there are outstanding unpaid purchases ... You cannot download FREE Apple apps,

I'm wondering if this is behind your question.
