Hello ipadkidwithaquestion,


Are these apps shared purchases? If so, are the steps under "Use your iPhone or iPad to download content that family members purchased" the steps you followed to install those apps: How to download apps and content that your family members purchased - Apple Support


If these are not shared purchases and, If they were by chance installed using the organizers Apple ID on your device, that's the information that will always be required. Apps are linked to the Apple ID that downloads the app. To resolve this, you will need to delete the app, then use the steps in the resource above to redownload it using your Apple ID.


We hope this helps.


Take care!
