Hello there

I'm totally perplexed....

I purchased Procreate (iPad) and one or two of the 6 in our Family Sharing unit have downloaded too.

Today my wife tried to download, but it comes up with the price next to the App and intimates it will need to be purchased again. She's logged in with the appropriate Apple ID (mine) under Media & Purchases but it doesn't seem to like it. 

I don't want to click to purchase the App as presume it will charge again whilst I recall on other devices it seemed to be listed as Paid.

Any tips please?! What am I doing wrong?!

Thank you in advance to anyone inclined to reply!

Adam

Oh good grief, the day has come, one of my children just helped me!  (ok, she's 18, an adult but a child to me!)

Turns out I'd forgotten that I first bought it for her, and hence had to simply go to App Store/Purchases/Click her account/Search Procreate et voilà!

Happily downloading now. 

Sorry for bothering y'all!
