Hi, what I do is the following to restore an older app.
First the setup. This has to be done before you can restore an older app.
1. Create a folder called Mobile Applications.old in the same location
as my iTunes library. This way, both Mobile Applications and Mobile
Applications.old are in the same iTunes Media folder.
2. Copy the most important apps to it. This is in case you upgrade one
which isn't working. For example I keep the Chase Mobile, Pandora, and
GV Connect apps in here just to name a few. Then when a new update comes
out I can roll back if necessary in case the newer ones aren't accessible.
Restoring the older app.
1. Find the newer app which broke accessibility from the apps section in
iTunes.
2. Delete it. iTunes will ask you if you also want to send the app to
the recycle bin. Say yes. Meaning, you don't want to keep it.
3. Close iTunes.
4. Open both Mobile Applications and Mobile Applications.old folders.
5. Copy the older app from Mobile Applications.old to the regular Mobile
Applications folder.
6. Close the Mobile Applications.old folder since you are done with it.
7. In the Mobile Applications folder, arrow to the older app you just
copied and press Enter. This will open iTunes and add the older app back
into the library.
8. Sync your phone and make sure that the older app is selected in the
apps to be synced.
A few notes to keep in mind.
1. If you are using older apps because you don't want to upgrade them,
be very careful when checking for new apps from either iTunes or from
your phone that you don't do update all. Otherwise you will have to do
this all over again.
2. If you don't have an established Mobile Applications.old folder, but
you have older apps you want to roll back to, they are going to be found
in the recycle bin, provided you haven't emptied it. So, to get them
back, open the RB and arrow to the app you want and choose restore. It
will restore to the Mobile Applications folder. You can then remove the
newer one from iTunes as described above and then simply press enter on
the restored one to add it back into iTunes. Then make sure to copy this
older app over to the Mobile Applications.old folder so you don't have
to dig it out of the RB again.
I hope these instructions help.

If you sync your apps with iTunes on your PC or MAC, you may be able
to roll back provided you still have the older .ipa file or can
restore it. It may, for example, be accessible through Windows'
previous versions feature. The workaround involves deleting the newer
app from your iPhone and iTunes library, adding the older .ipa file
back to your library, then doing a sync. In Windows, the apps should
be stored wherever your iTunes library is stored, in a folder called
Mobile Applications.
