When I told his iPad to reinstall Lamp it said the device was too old, but I read that I could install it through the Purchased tab of the app store.

I have added 31 local stores and fast food places, but I still need to add dozens of common objects that are strangely missing.

The thing is, we have 3 iPads with the app. He uses it personally, I use it professionally, and Mom has it as a backup.

I swear that I had added a bunch to both of ours, but I don't see them.

I have been adding buttons to mine, planning on saving the file and loading it onto the other iPads, but that's the problem.

I was able to install an old version of the app, but I need to add everything to at least two different iPads.

Maybe I can transfer them from mine to Mom's, but again, that is a backup.

I had planned on waiting until I added everything, which is taking me forever, but Mom demanded that I added what I had Friday morning.

We only had a couple of minutes before his ride arrived and I was still trying to figure it out half an hour after he left.

My iPad says "Import from iTunes, Export to iTunes, DropBox, and Export and Share."

Under Export and Share it gives me AirDrop, Message, Mail, [...], and Save to Files.

Under [...] it shows Facebook Messenger.

My iPad looks and acts just like my brother's, except he has the old weird proprietary connector and she has the new weird proprietary connector.

He has version 9.3.5 of IOS, which claims to be up-to-date.

Mom had version 12.5.5 of iOS, which also claims to be up-to-date.

The app on my brother's iPad gives the same options, but when I go through the menu AirDrop and Save to Files don't show up.

It's too old for AirDrop, but why can't I save to files?!

I e-mailed it, but the app kept saying I had the wrong password. I put it in a couple of times and then found a page with someone saying "Apple informed me that I am not having the best experience. I'm buying a new iPad."

E-mail experience?!

I was able to log into Mom's e-mail through the web. I still couldn't Save to Files. I needed to upload it to the cloud, but that gave me the option of importing it to Lamp, except nothing happens.

I tried it a couple of times and realized that a messaged popped up and disappeared before I could read anything. I recorded a video and it said the file was incompatible.

It took a while to figure out, but it turns out that I had 2.36.1 and my brother had 2.38, so I upgraded, but it still gave me the error.

I happened to notice that the file list says "LAMP WFL - Version 2.38.0 (12)" on mine and "LAMP - Version 2.25.2 (0)" on my brother's.
