I've been gifted an old iPad. Looking for some recommendations
Hello everyone! So, I've been gifted an iPad "3" (retina with 30-pin) which has iOS 9.3.5 on it. Over the last number of months here, I've read of a number of apps that are not available for newer iOS's and now I'm specifically looking for recommendations of these 
(If they are even around still. There is one I had purchased many many years ago, TechnoBox2, which is unavailable now 
)

The original NanoStudio is free and a great app.

KRFT is impressive - it might have issues, but I forget what they are (and it's still impressive):

For apps that won't work on newer versions of the OS, I guess it's 32-bit apps you're after:

these are great apps!
Remember he's looking for things that aren't available on newer iOS devices. That disqualifies Sunvox at least, probably some of those others too
Yep, all 3 of the apps I linked work on newer devices as well as older ones. Pre-coffee post. Perhaps the 32-bit trail will lead the OP to fertile land.
Deleted.
Advices work on newer devices. Good luck.
I don’t think there will be anything that meets those criteria.
Anything that’s 32bit only won’t show up in the store for NEW purchases.
I’m not sure what iOS version the 3 goes up to but this site will help you find apps that still work on older versions of iOS. Edit - I see you mentioned iOS. This site only goes up to like iOS 7 or something like that but still might find some apps this way.

Stroke machine, i love this app
It's ok with old ipad 2 for exemple
You'd think, but there are some still there. The LickByNeck guitar apps are still in the app store for some reason, over a year after the server with all the actual files on it went dark. Wish I'd been a bit more obsessive about downloading the library now; there were hundreds of fantastic arrangements that are now gone forever. All still run on the 1st-gen iPad on which I consolidated all my downloaded arrangements from my various devices and all the different LBN apps into the iPad version of their flagship Fingerstyle Guitar. My most missed app.
Sell it
I second this. It is very likely these no longer available 32 bit apps at this point are not available for new “purchase”. You can find out for yourself though obviously. Just try to see if you can find these apps, but don’t expect them all to be available.
There are several apps that work okay on iOS 9.3.5/9.3.6 as well, but my ultimate conclusion after trying with my iPad 2 is that it isn’t worth it for me. I have 2 iPads already that can be totally up to date. I have no old 32 bit apps as I got into iOS early 2015 and lucked out not buying apps that were about to go obsolete. The iPad 2 and 3 are very limited, but aren’t entirely useless.
Rebirth for acid on old iPad. Caustic and yeah those screen shots give me memories. Cantor that pre geo shred fretboard app, man that was cool. Cheers, and Id say old iPad with like 1 or 2 bomb apps will make it sing! Just don't try running multiple synths and stuff at once. Anyway cheers on a gift!
iPad3 is essentially an iPad2 with a retina screen.
These apps still run very well on the iPad2 and iPad mini1:
Thumbjam
Animoog
iM1
iVCS
GeoShred
GrooveRider
I am afraid, but not sure, the 3 does not have Bluetooth4.0BLE, wich would be a good reason to update to iOS 10. Also the Apple cloud support is much better in iOS 10.
I would wait for black friday and christmass to get those apps with a great discount.
Maybe GrooveRider is still on sale and Thumbjam is allways cheap, so you could get those two now. They form a great couple running together.
See this file and sort by ios version: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vydiVIIZR48AFiRcfANzmRnec-eZ-6yiE5C21ztkU6A/edit?usp=sharing&fbclid=IwAR1wi58qo4pL1yfWnLIMrwsh6xlCbKtHv5RcJhAb5tEvJHTavzEvBJ6rbdE
Thank you everyone! I've learned what the question is that I am asking now (all about 32 bit apps haha)
@seonnthaproducer I had that at one point, but it no longer shows up in my purchased list
@colonel_mustard Thank you for the link! That was a thread I had not seen. Also, yes to all three you mentioned (I admit I haven't given SunVox the love it deserves....)
@BiancaNeve I wasn't actually aware 32-bit was removed from the store, thank you! I'd given little consideration that I may run into that issue, but I have found a few apps that remained (and some that had older versions available so I could still install)
@Poppadocrock Thank you for the link!
@Masanga THANK YOU! That's a great repository, I look forward to seeing what I can still find out of it!
@ChoopCGen I'd never seen this one, really cool! I'll have to look for a sale, it's an "expensive" one (for having no income hah)
@noob want to buy it?
@DMan I agree that I'm barking up an obsolete tree. I think I will end up using it entirely for Lemur or some other MIDI application. It's interesting to see the apps I missed in the years I spent away from iOS. I'm mostly disappointed for the loss of things that I had purchased but couldn't play with when I returned.
@oceansinspace Rebirth was such a fun app. It's not available any longer, either
That was one I skipped when I had the opportunity to get it, too... Propellerheads lost a legal battle with Roland over intellectual property rights. I still have the PC version they released (in my software graveyard....)
@Alfred Thank you for pointing those out! I've got a couple of them, I'm happy to hear they are supported on the old machine still. The limitation of this device is sadly the highest version of iOS 9 (I have 9.3.5, someone else mentioned 9.3.6 but I can't update to it?) so anything past here will need a jailbreak. Which I'm not opposed to.
@MAtrixplan Thank you for the link! That is extremely useful!
@fjcblanco I'm curious what you recommended anyhow
Your a methodological human I like it. Ok, your a previous acid head so your fine with skipping iPad version its a bit winky.
It should definitely be fine for MIDI applications. GeoShred and Thumbjam work fine on it latest versions last I checked, which was about a year ago. Those are pretty good touch screen note players. Had mine set up with MIDI applications even GR-16 and Modstep work fine on it. KeyStage works fine on it too if you want to route a live setup or using hardware instruments. I really wanted to use it so it wasn’t wasted, but I have 2 newer iPads and if I start using more than one iPad I ask myself why I need to do that. So, I’m definitely not setting up 3 iPads.
Sell delete the junk ffs , cmon wtf
Compared to what?
Still true, even for GeoShred 5 with the GeoSWAM instruments. 9.3 was my favourite system version before 13.5; I stuck on it for years for jailbreak reasons and the only major frustration was that it wouldn't run Noise as AUv3.
