Reinstall an app I paid for

I purchased an app for my son in July 2019 and deleted it off my iPad in October. I would like to reinstall it now but when I go to the App Store it doesn’t recognize that I already purchased it and just need to re-download it. It wants me to pay for it again.

Is there a way to download a previously purchased app onto my iPad so I don’t have to buy it again?

iPad (5th gen) Wi-Fi

Reinstalling apps Hello, I purchased an app a while ago and now I have to reinstall it (even though the last time I used it was last week. The app cost $20 so I don’t want to have to buy it again, and I had a lot of important things on it so I would not like it to delete its data. When I attempt to re-install it, it says ‘Unable to install, try again later,’ I have tried several times but it still doesn’t work. I went to the App Store but it says the price. How can I re-install it without buying it again or losing the data on it? Thanks

Re-download deleted apps So some time ago our very old Ipad died just stopped working. Now we had a bunch games on it and multiple ones that costs money (like the Goat simulator games) we also had some removed games like Angry birds race and epic. I was wondering if i went into my app store from my phone and logged into the IPads account could I download those games again? (Sorry if I choose the wrong ipad I didn’t exactly know which one it was)

Make sure you are signed in using the same Apple ID that was used to pay for that app.
