🍎 Download on App Store

Method 1: Install the Last Compatible Version

Apple's App Store has a hidden feature: if you've ever downloaded an app on any device with the same Apple ID, you can install the last version that supported your iOS.

  1. On a current iOS 16+ device (friend's phone, family iPad), download Screen mirroring・Smart View TV using the same Apple ID.
  2. On your iPad (3rd gen), open the App Store → tap your profile picture → Purchased.
  3. Search for Screen mirroring・Smart View TV. Tap the cloud icon.
  4. iOS asks: "This app requires iOS 15. Download last compatible version?" — tap Download.

✅ This works for most major apps as long as you've previously installed them with this Apple ID. The older version connects to the same servers — your account and content remain accessible.

Method 2: Use Screen mirroring・Smart View TV via Safari (PWA)

Many apps have a full web version accessible via Safari. Open Safari on your iPad (3rd gen), go to the app's website, sign in, then tap Share → Add to Home Screen. This gives you a home screen icon that opens the web app in full-screen mode — no download required.
