Q: How do you stop kids from downloading a previously purch. app?

Someone downloaded an app on my ipad while I was logged in that I do not want my kids to have on my ipad.  Once it's deleted how do I stop them from downloading it again?

 

Thanks for your help!

iPad, iOS 6

    You can totally restrict them from downloading apps in Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing Apps>off. If you do that, the App Store icon will disappear from the iPad. If you do that, you have to set a restrictions passcode first. settings>General>Restrictions>Enable Restrictions. If you do decide to take this course of action - DO NOT forget the passcode. If you do, you will have to restore the iapd to factory settings in order to get back into your restricted settings to unrestrict them.
