Family sharing
I purchased “teach your monster to read” a 5.99 app, and when I try to download it on my husband’s ipad, it’s asking him to pay $5.99. The app says it’s compatible for 6 family members. What am I missing?

Hello theoilcancino,
Please ensure that purchase sharing is set up correctly, so we can make sure that's not part of the issue: How to share purchases with your family
What is purchase sharing?
When you turn on purchase sharing, everyone in your family gets access to apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books that family members buy. The family organizer is billed for family members' purchases.
Some items can't be shared. Find out which types of content can't be shared.
Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to turn on purchase sharing
1. If you haven't set up Family Sharing yet, set up Family Sharing.
