Old iOS vs iOS 5 with apps

[sophiak]

Hi all
Very frustrating issue where someone is telling me that apps downloaded in iTunes before iOS 5 now won't work on an iPad that is updated to iOS 5.0.1.

Is this at all true?

Not true. Most (if not every) app has been updated to at the very least run on iOS 5. There may be the odd exception here and there in the app store, but for the most part they work (at least from my experience).

Great just what I thought. Some people are so stubborn. Many thanks
