Purchasing an app is a single charge. Many times after downloading an app, it will offer a subscription service that can be signed up for where you would see a monthly charge. Apps that offer subscriptions are normally free to download, but have different subscription services available as an in-app purchase.
How did you purchase this app for your great-granddaughter?
Is she using your Apple ID?
Is your payment information on her device?
The answers to those questions will help prevent you from additional charges that your great-granddaughter could possibly make on your account. There are many ways to prevent these charges:
- Set up Family Sharing
- Use Parental Controls to prevent purchases
- Use Ask to Buy to authorize purchases
