When you buy an app on the AppStore, do you have to pay again to get the same app on a different ios device?

I have Minecraft Pocket edition and I want it on my other device.

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

As long as you download the app with the ID that you bought it with, yoy will not be charged again. But you must be logged into that ID in order to do this. If you switch ID's after you download the app, you will not be charged because yoy downloaded an app with th other ID.


Note that if you switch ID's in order to download apps without paying form them again (using somebody else's ID) you can lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.
