A kitchen-clock app would be nice.

I guess I need to state again what is obvious from the start but which
people like Jolly Roger (who doesn't even have a high school GED) can't
fathom which is she has _plenty_ of iPads which are on the current iOS.

She wants to install a _new_ app onto that older iPad.

I guess I need to better understand low IQ people even given that this is in
inherent in the SUBJECT line of this thread, but Jolly Roger missed it.
*How do you download a single useful app to an older iPad model MC497LL*

The problem with _this_ iPad is that it is unilaterally destroyed by Apple
such that she can't load a _useful_ app onto it that will make her
investment into something (anything) useful as a single-use item for her.

A kitchen clock would be nice.

I think I need to be more gentle with people of such low IQ as Jolly Roger
clearly is, in that I need to somehow let them know, gently so, that not
everyone only plays kindergarten games on their mobile devices like he does.

Our simple goal is, was, and always will be for this thread, is to find at
least one useful app to load onto this older iPad to make it useful again.

A kitchen-clock app would be nice.

My assessment may be discussed among intelligent adults, but the facts must
first be agreed upon by those intelligent adults (of which JR isn't one).

The facts are:
a. If this were a 10-year old Windows PC, it would load new useful apps.
b. If this were a 10-year old Linux PC, it would load new useful apps.
c. If this were a 10-year old Android tablet, it would load new useful apps.

Do you agree with those facts?
Note: Only idiots disagree with facts (that's why they're idiots after all).

The assessment question to ask is why is it _only_ a ten year old iOS device
where we can't find (yet) even a _single_ app to make it useful again?

A kitchen-clock app would be nice.

And yet you don't even _understand_ the problem set, even as the problem set
has been stated in the subject line of every single post JR responded to.
*How do you download a single useful app to an older iPad model MC497LL*

A kitchen clock app would be nice.
