I'm curious: Why would you need to know when an app was installed?

You can open the App Store app, tap the Updates icon at the bottom, find
the app in the list, and tap "What's New" next to the app to view the
date of the last update.

In all fairness to the op you your response (as written) gives 
instructions that would give the last update date not the installation date.

That's true. 

I still wonder why one would need to know the installation date though.

that's the update date, not the installed date.

it also doesn't go back very far and it's also possible that an
installed app has not been updated at all which means it won't show up
at all.

I looked in both iTunes and the App store on the device 
and there was nothing in iTunes and the App store just
showed the last updated date.

You never said how to find the date the app was originally
downloaded. Just the last update, which could have been
any day, and therefore not what I'm looking for.

Unless I missed it.

Yes, that's correct.

And I still wonder: Why do you need to know when an app was installed?

in itunes, select the app and then get info on it.

another way is check your email receipts, but that only works for paid
apps. free apps do not generate receipts (although they once did, long
ago).

I selected the "Find My iPhone" app in iTunes, & it said in the 
"Information" section:

Seller Apple Inc.
Developer Apple
Category Utilities
Updated Sep 17, 2014
Version 4.0
Size 5.6 MB
Rating 4+
Compatibility Requires iOS 8.0 or later. 
              Compatible with iPhone, iPa, and Ipad touch. 
              This app is optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus.

That doesn't seem to tell me anything about when it was initially downloaded.

That was in the App Store. The iTunes on the device told me nothing.

you're not paying attention, as usual.

In order of how the thread shows up in my newsreader:
3/2 Sunshine:  original question (how to get the actual date installed, not updated)
3/12 Jolly Roger: no answer - just asks why 
3/12 Jolly Roger: view the last update (which was already known and is the wrong answer)
3/12 nospam: usually the date you downloaded it. (which is what the question essentially was)
3/12 Sunshine: asks nospam to clarify how to get that date
3/12 Jolly Roger: rudely says he gave the answer & won't repeat (but he gave no such answer)
3/12 Sunshine: nicely asks Jolly Roger to clarify (even knowing JR has never known anything)
3/13 Jolly Roger: agrees he never gave the answer & asks why anyone would want the date
3/12 M John Matlaw: explains to JR that JR's answer wasn't an answer "in all fairness"
3/12 M John Matlaw: kindly describes the best you can get is the last update date
3/12 nospam: explains to MJM that his answer was the last update date (which MJM knew already)
3/13 Sunshine: explains the last update wasn't ever the goal (& that iTunes/App Store failed)
3/12 Jolly Roger: asks why the install date is desired
3/12 nospam: give an incorrect answer to use "iTunes" (which was already explained it fails)
3/12 nospam: also says to check email receipts (of which there are absolutely none, and he knew that)
3/13 Sunshine: patiently explains why the App Store and iTunes didn't give the desired information
3/13 nospam: characteristically says "you're not paying attention"
3/13 Jolly Roger: provides wholly unrelated information about Mac and it's wrong anyway
3/13 nospam: talks about buying and syncing apps, which is, again, wholly unrelated (and won't work)
3/13 Jolly Roger: complains again about not knowing why someone wants to know the install date
3/13 Sunshine: again, as usual, politely explains the reason for the question 
3/13 bj: provides a suggestion to just delete the app (which isn't an answer to the original question)
3/13 nospam: makes a wholly incorrect negative judgement about app organization
3/13 Sunshine: kindly and politely clarifies that she lets the iOS device store the apps where they may
3/13 nospam: replies "good"
3/14 Sunshine: kindly provides even more information about why she wants to know the install date
3/14 nospam: says I "ignore the answer and start bitchin" (ummmm... there was never an answer)
3/14 nospam: says I "she can look through the purchase history" (ummm.... they're all free apps)
3/14 Lewis: says the same idiotic things that Jolly Roger says (they must be conjoined illiterate twins)
3/14 Sunshine: kindly and politely says there was never an answer to the original question
3/14 nospam: Says two answers were given and ignored (when zero usable answers were given)
3/14 Jolly Roger: Says "don't worry" about the date (as if that's somehow an answer to the question)
3/14 Sunshine: Yet again kindly and politely responds to the question of why
3/14 nospam: Yet again, tries to say that a scared old lady shouldn't be that way (but she is)
3/14 Sunshine: Yet again clarifies that the original question is still about finding the install date
3/14 nospam: Says the question doesn't matter as his way of doing things is the only way that's right
3/14 Patty Winter: Goes off on some strange tangent that has nothing to do with the question
3/14 Sunshine: Yet again, kindly and politely responds to Patty Winter's concerns
3/14 nospam: Says I reject the answers (huh? There were NEVER any correct answers!)
3/14 Sunshine: for the first time, gets frustrated (reminds nospam of the kettle calling the pot black)
3/14 nospam: Wants so badly to start a flamefest, says I was given answers (huh?) and I reject them
3/14 Sunshine: Kindly again explains to Patty Winter why a grandmother wants to know a date of install
3/14 Patty Winter: Assails Sunshine (and doesn't at all attempt to answer the basic question)
3/13 nospam: Asks again why the date of install matters
3/13 Lewis: Not really important what Lewis says, but he says she should just delete the apps
3/13 Lewis: Says something meaningless about buying iPads and CDs
3/13 Lewis: Surprisingly, offers real information about a "Purchase date" (which doesn't exist)
3/14 Lewis: Surprisingly, offers real information about a "Purchase date" (which doesn't exist)
3/14 Sunshine: Explains to Lewis that this helpful advice can't possibly work for all free apps

I'm paying attention.
I'm looking for the answer, and, the answer is "it can't be done".
Unless you know of a way it can be done, there's nothing more to say.

I can see the purchase date of apps in iTunes for Mac OS by getting info
on an app in my library and looking at the "purchase date" field in the
"File" tab of the resulting Info window. That's close enough to an
install date for me. I suppose if we were to know why you need to know
when an app was installed, we might be able to help you better, but you
so far have refused to tell us. It doesn't seem like very useful
information to me. Oh well.

the purchase date is almost always the install date.

it's possible that someone buys an app via itunes and then syncs it to
the device some time later, but that would be rare and likely not much
later different anyway. i doubt someone would buy an app and wait
months to sync it, but that possibility does exist, however small it
may be.

but the real question is what difference does it make.

That's what I'm wondering. It seems like we may never know, because
Sunshine refuses to tell us. Oh well.
