Your device is too old.
Your device is too old.
MichaelPM I wasn't responding to you, I was responding to DennisHesselberth, whose procedure of "just go to the netflix website and it'll offer you the older app" definitely does not work. Next time please check the little bit of text above a response to see if you were the one being talked to before becoming flippant
IF you need older versions of apps for your older device, there are two ways of getting them.
The first and easiest way is to download the newest app to a newer iDevice, first.
Then go back to your older iDevice, download the newest version of the app, once again, and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device.. Would you like to download this version now.
Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.
If you need apps for your older iDevice, if you have a computer with an older version of iTunes (version 12.6.4 or earlier ), you can try downloading the recent app/s, by accessing the iOS App Store, through iTunes, and then, download the recent version of the app/s you like to use on your older iDevice to iTunes on your computer, FIRST.
IF you own a computer with an older version of iTunes already on it, try using that version as an older iDevice does not need the latest iTunes version.
If you have a computer, but NO iTunes on it, here is a link to the older 12.6.3 version for download found in this Apple weblink.
Older versions of iTunes found here.
https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes
iTunes 12.6.4 here.
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208079
DO NOT download OR USE the latest version of iTunes (version 12.7.x) as there is no more support for saving apps in iTunes under the most recent versions.
If you have already downloaded the recent 12.7.x version of iTunes, NONE of what I have wriiten here in this post reply may work!
You will need to use an older iTunes version and once it is downloaded and installed on your computer, at launch, hold down the Opt/Alt key on your keyboard while launching this older iTunee version, so you can create a new Tunes library.
BEFORE DOING the IMMEDIATELY ABOVE, if you use iTunes on a computer and already have an iTunes Library, you will need to find the iTunes Library folder on your computer and, temporarily, move/copy this folder to another location so you do not accidentally write over your existing current iTunes library.
Then, back on your older iDevice, you can try to download the latest app from the iOS App Store and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device.. Would you like to download this version now.
Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iDevice.
If you are successful in getting apps on this iPad, consider looking for more “up to date”, third party iOS web browsers for that version of iOS.
Some third party web browser developers supported their web browser on iOS 9.3.5 and are more up to date than the over two year old iOS version of the Safari Web Browser.
If you use iTunes on a computer, some third party iOS web browsers that may still have older versions for iOS 9.3.5.
Perfect Web browser
Dolphin Web browser
iCab Mobile Web browser
Maven Web Browser
Opera Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
Good Luck to You!
This was my Way – but it didn´t Work – What did i Wrong?
Downloadet Itunes 12.6.2 for MacOS here - https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes
What do i am Wrong?
First, download the app on a recent iOS devices that netflix supported.
Before you can redownload items that you bought from the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books, follow these steps:
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used to purchase or download the item originally.
On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
It is possible! It's also very easy to solve.
I ran into this same issue after resetting my iPad 3 (on iOS 9.3.5) to swap from my son to my younger daughter.
I've been able to do this more than once today on different devices.
The following Apple support link helped me initially. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201272#help
Hope this helps!
What I did was, downloaded Netflix on my Iphone 7 and then logged into icloud on my ipad that runs 9.3.5 with the same ID which I used on my iphone 7.
Then, on your IPAD mini go to the app store, in the purchases tab, you should see Netflix. Click the download button , then it will ask you do you want to install the older version of Netflix. Just say ok and the compatible version of netflix will get installed on your IPAD mini.
P.S: I don't know why Apple doesn't give this option while directly installing the app from the appstore on the IPAD ..weird.

Below answer didn't worked out for me :
"if u just go on website version then netflix ll ask u if u wanna download the app then it says wanna download older version then it ll work"
My procedure was:
1) On my Windows 10 64 bits installed iTunes (latest version from Apple). iPad mini was connected USB to computer.
2) Logged in and downloaded Netflix on computer. It will give you the error (your iPad is too old... go get a new one from Apple 😝)
3) Go to my iPad mini 1st gen and open App Store.
4) Download Netflix and will prompt to get and older version. Of course!!!
5) Got Netflix installed. Logged in and enjoyed Scorpion series.
Hope this helps. This was done on July 4th 2018. Happy 4th of July...
Thanks !
Logged with my Apple ID and password.
Apps clicked.
App Sotre category clicked.
iPad apps selected.
Should it look like this ?
I can't do anything as the iOS App Store Only button is grayed.
In fact I can not download any app, they all are grayed.
Apps may have older iOS 9.3.5 versions still available from the iOS App Store.
There are two ways to try/attempt to get an older version of an app.
If you have a newer iDevice, install the newer version of the app to your newer iDevice first.
Then, back on your iPad, you can try to download the latest app from the iOS App Store and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device.. Would you like to download this version now.
Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.
If you need older apps for that iPad, if you have a computer with an older version of iTunes (version 12.6.4 or earlier ), you can try downloading the most recent versions/s of app/s, by accessing the iOS App Store, through iTunes, and then, download the recent version of the app/s you like to use on your iPad, to iTunes on your computer, FIRST.
IF you own a computer with an older version of iTunes already on it, try using that version as an older iPad does not need the latest iTunes version.
If you have a computer, but NO iTunes on it, here is a link to the older 12.6.4 version for download found in this Apple weblink.

I would STOP using that 2-2-1/2 year old Safari web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any longer, and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL being supported on iOS 9.3.5.
Here are a few third party web browsers that I know are STILL being updated and supported on iOS 9.
Perfect Web browser
iCab Mobile Web browser
Dolphin Web browser
Aloha Web browser
Maven Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
Opera Web Browser
Perfect Web Browser JUST had a very recent update to iOS 11, but the older last version update is still available here and had its last older iOS update this past April 2018.

Good Luck to You!
If you already downloaded an older app for your older iDevice under your own Apple ID and password, then the re-downloading of that older version is very easy.
It is when you never had the app to begin with and/or setting up an older iDevice as new with a new Apple ID and password that getting the older version of a newer iOS compatible app becomes more difficult.
By the way when you get that iPad 2 back for your Grandson to use, it is best to set up that iPad with his own Apple ID and password, if he us going to be the main user of this iPad.
That means that if there are any apps that have moved on to iOS 10 and/or 11, an older version of an app must now be gotten using the two possible methods I meticulously outlined here in my previous replies in this posting or from my link here in the Apple Support Community user tips.

If your Grandson plays a lot of popular games on an iPad, you may find that some of the more popular game developers purposely move their games ahead to new iOS versions and and three things may happen.
The game developers remove their older game versions from the iOS App Store servers, discontinue any support and/or completely disable the functionality of the older versions of their games.
Good Luck to You!
Did you even tap on my link on the previous page and try my procedures?
Do you own a computer you can download and install an older version of iTunes on it?
My procedures will and do work.
I will post the link one more time.
