Hi
It would be a good situation if old iPads could be used as monitors for Victron systems. Can you continue to support old devices with Victronconnect, eg iOS 9.

Running old versions of VictronConnect on Legacy iOS devices
There is a way.
Cannot download it directly after doing a search in the app store on the iPad 3. But if the “purchased” list is opened, then it allows the last compatible version to be downloaded!
I have an old iPad3 doing exactly that. They are super stable and really cheap now.
Unfortunately due to the way that iOS manages the App Store (as compared to macOS, Android, and Windows), it is not so easy to provide working old versions for everyone.
For now at least we have done our best, and if you are running an old iOS version, the App Store should present you the last version that worked with that iOS version. But occasionally Apple will also drop old apps due to some platform level compatibility reasons (eg only 64 bit apps allowed), and there is nothing that Victron can do but conform.
So we will do our best to keep old versions around, but sometimes it is out of our hands.
