App purchases for family accounts

Hi! I want to setup an apple ID for my 12 y/o daughter but I want to know if she has access to my purchases. For example, I bought an app and she also would like to use it on her iPad. Do I have to buy it again? Thanks.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi,


Many apps can be shared; see the next reference. For your particular app you'd need to check the app's description (I believe near the very bottom) on the App Store for its sharing status.
