Can't connect to App Store

iPad Air2 suddenly can not connect to App Store. Internet connection is fine, I restarted the iPad twice with no better results. I can see "Purchased" and "Updates" but if I try anything else, I get the loading wheel forever. If I download from my MBA the app goes to my iPhone, but not my iPad, although sync is on, and has worked in the past. Any help unraveling this will be most appreciated!

With the recent AWS S3 outage, the App Stores on iOS and macOS were having issues, but I believe they've all recovered and fully working now. You want to make sure to close the App Store app by double-clicking the home button and swiping up on the App Store. Then reload and see what happens. If that doesn't do it, you might want to try holding down the power button and home button at the same time until the iPad restarts and try again..

Thanks RazOrEdge, but I've already tried restarting twice before I posted here.

Just realized I should have posted this under iPad iOS - don't see a way to delete this post, so all I can do is apologize!

No problem. Deleting the cross post now.
