Step by step

  1. Open AppDrop and select iPad in the device filter. Narrow the results by app category if useful.

  2. Check the iPad compatibility tag and region. Some iPhone apps run on iPad without being optimized for its larger display.

  3. Open the official App Store link and confirm it shows Get rather than a price. Price and availability can change by country.

  4. Read the description, minimum iPadOS requirements and in-app purchase details before installing.

FAQ

How do I get back an app I downloaded before?

In the App Store, open your profile, then Apps & Purchase History and Your Apps. Switch to Not on this iPad and tap the cloud next to an available app.
