App already purchased won't open on old MacBook

I purchased Visible Body's Human Anatomy Atlas app yrs ago $50. I cant update it on my MacBook as it is too old to perform updates. Can I make this company give me the latest version on my new iPad since Ive already purchased it?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Definitely not.

iPad/iOS/iPadOS apps are a separate purchase from the similar app for Macs/macOS.

The apps are different and are coded for two very different operating systems.


Sorry.


If you want this app for your compatible iPad, you will need to purchase this app for that device.

That is the way this works.



Sorry.
