Can all ipads run the same apps

We've decided to buy our 3 year old a second hand ipad, budget of £100. However I've no idea which one to get. I've been told that I cant get say an ipad 1 as a lot of the main apps wont work?

Could someone possibly explain?

Well the older the ipad, the less powerful it will be essentially. I'd imagine any ipad from the last 3 years would be able to run all the current apps well, it's just gaming performance will probably be worse than on say the latest one.

Ok thank you!

It'll only be for Netflix, a few learning apps etc. Not going to be overloaded.
