Old ‘Netgear Support’ app not possible to delete or remove on iPad
The old Netgear Support app is impossible to remove or delete on my iPad. It looks as it is trying to update itself when trying to open it, but nothing happens afterwards. The icon remains ‘faided’. ...

It’s just annoying. And so old I don’t remember what I had back then. I’m now on my fifth or sixth iPad, and it has just been transferred from iPad to iPad, but it is in the last year or two it has been a ‘phantom app’ I think.
Well, not really a Netgear issue, I just asked here if someone had experienced the same problem.
Thanks for your time and answers, I will continue and try in Apple forums.

It’s an old app I believe doesn’t exist anymore. The title is: “NETGEAR Support”. Not possible to open either.

I would avoid any nuclear options. Best start at the iPad end. I know that apple locks down its devices, but there should be somewhere out tin iLand who can help.
Is this phantom app doing anything worrying or is it just an annoyance? Resetting an iPad just to get rid of that would seem to be overkill.
What device did you own when you installed this thing?
Just another user with time on their hands.
