Apple iPad 2 app help

Apple iPad 2 cannot download purchased app code of an expensive app. Is there another way around it? The app has been around for a while and it upgraded for iOS 11. The developer's website says that I can 'gift' it to myself, but the app code is for the 11 iOS compatible version. Is there any way to log-in with the Apple ID on an Mac, download the app, and then go to the App store on the iPad 2 and download the 'purchased' app from the list? Please let me know your thoughts, thanks!

If this app you were using has moved on to iOS 10 and 11 and later and is no longer receiving any updates under iOS 9.3.5., then the only way to get this app, now is to purchase a new iPad, refurbhised new or older iPad from Apple or a newer, used iPad, from a reputable reseller, that is capable of running iOS 11.

The iPad 2 is just about 7 years old, now!

Maybe it’s time for a new or newer iPad.

Good Luck to You!
