Please Help: How to view purchase history of Mac Apps on Mac App Store?

Hi all, I really need help!

My current Mac Mini isn't working and it's the only Mac computer I have... :'( :'(


I just want to view the Apps I've bought on the Mac App Store when my Mac Mini was working fine. How can I see my purchase history?


I have access to an iPad 9th generation and Windows 10 PC and an iPad Mini 3.


Please, help me. :'(

iPad, 16

As was said, Mac Apps will not appear anywhere on an iPad even when following those steps. Have you tried it?


The Mac apps appear only on a Mac and on reportaproblem.apple.com if they are recent enough.

Thank you for your answers!


The particular App I bought from the Mac App Store was back in 2015... :(


I just want to know the name of the App so that I can buy the Windows 10 version of it.


I don't have access to a working Mac computer... are you sure I can't use my iPad to check?


When I open iTunes in Windows 10 it only gives me access to music, audiobooks, movies etc but not Apps I've purchased.


I tried opening https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ but it doesn't go back very far for my purchase history... :(

Yes, of course.

I can see here all the purchases from the beginning I have and macOS.

Also from my iPhone & iPad.

On an iPad? Can you actually see Mac purchases on your iPad. I can't. I've tried, and my Mac purchases do not appear on my iPad at all.


Some of my iPad and iPhone apps appear on my Mac however.

Yes, I see my macOS aap on my iPad purchase history list.


I have walked this road:

On your iPhone / iPad you can check /search easily.

Go to -> Settings -> tap your profile -> tap Media and purchases -> View account -> log in.

Scroll to and tap -> Purchase history -> tap the last  90 days.

You will then see a list of 'years' and you can select a year to view.
