If the above procedure hasn't work for you, here is what you need to do using the latest iTunes 12.6.5.
iTunes 12.6.5 found here.

iTunes 12.6.5 for the Mac requires OS X El Capitàn 10.11.4 or later.
If you have already downloaded the recent 12.7/8/9.x versions 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 iTunes 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 ( usually located in folder labelled Music ) 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 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 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.
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.
Popular third party, iOS 9 and earlier compatible Web browsers are more quickly dwindling, now.
iOS 9 users have gone from 10 popular, third party Web browser, now down to six.
Here is what is left.
iCab Mobile Web browser
Dolphin Web browser
Snow Bunny Web browser
Private Browsing Web browser
Aloha Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
Good Luck to You!
