Make sure the iPad is online so it can access the store.

Open the Settings app, tap General, then tap Software update.

Any new updates will be listed there. If your device is up to date then no updates will be shown.


The iPad is around 7 years old & only supports iOS 5, so most modern apps cannot be installed. Sorry, Apple & third party developers do not support older devices. You'll need a newer more powerful device to use new apps.
