I'm wanting to purchase an app that requires a 64 bit machine but I could not see any indication if it is 32 or 64 in the "about" screen.
OS: 9.3.1 (which is required for the app)
Model is: MD588LL/A
thanks.
Look at the back of your iPad and see what is the model number. It should be A####. If you have an iPad 4, then it's a 32 bit tablet, otherwise it's 64.
iPad 4 and newer have the lightning connectors.

Interesting replies due to erroneous model number reporting...as sberman mentions:

Here is the key to the mystery:
- Your screen shot above shows the model as MD518LL/A = iPad 4
- Your original post lists the model as MD588LL/A = iPad Air
Hi marcusbarcus
iPad Air or later and iPad mini 2 or later have 64 bit processors.
Basically iPads released on/after November 2013
Interesting.
As SergZak said, MD588LL/A means it's an iPad Air 1.
As Axeman1020 said, confirmed by this article, iPad Air 1 has a 64 bit chip.
But you think you may have a 32 bit chip.
OK, then.
Good luck. Enjoy your iPad.
Try settings> general>about> capacity. If the number is close to 64 but slightly less there's your answer
The most distinguishing feature is the camera. iPad 1's don't have camera.
Also I doubt you can purchase an app that won't work on your iPad from your iPad. Just like you can't download an app that won't work.
So is there any way to identify for sure that it's an Air? I found the original box and it just says iPad, no mention of Air on the box or in any of the printed material inside.
Here's a scan of the label. Nowhere does it say "Air"
In the Wikipedia model comparison it shows the iPad 4 with a lightning connector and an Apple A6X chip which I believe is a 32bit.
This unit was right on the cusp. You can see why I am a bit confused and that the replies are interesting IMO.

Your answer is wrong - the guy is talking about 32 or 64 bit processor capability, not 32 or 64GB storage capacity
Really? You are going to criticize one of bobseufert's three posts from more than a year ago embedded in this thread when the discussion clearly answers the original poster's question?
iPad Air does indeed have a lightning connector.
If it's not an Air but it's got lightning connector, it must be iPad 4. According the wiki, iPad 4 uses A6X processor and it is a 32-bit CPU:

That explains the confusion.
That is an iPad Air 1 (first generation). It is a 64-bit device which uses the Apple A7 processor.
Pretty sure it's not an Air, but it does have a lightning connector.
After looking at that Wiki page and then these replies I'm leaning towards 32bit.
Thanks all for the help: didn't want to waste $30 on the app to find out it won't work.
That is an iPad 4th Generation: http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1459
It has a 32 bit A6X CPU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A6X
How can I tell if my iPad is 32 or 64 bit?
