If I delete a paid for app, do I have to re-pay for it

Question

If I delete a paid for app, do I have to re-pay for it

I am on my new iPad mini running IOS 7.0.4

My last back up was a while ago, and I am wanting to restore my ipad to the last backup( say dec 27th)

However I have purchased apps since my last backup. Such as VIP black, iMovie, and explaineverything. And more. Needles to say I dont want to have to re do my purchase. Even though I have not backed up my ipad( of Synced) since the purchase. when I restore my iPad, can I redownload them for free? Thanks so much!

iPad, iOS 7

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 )

That made no sense, sorry. Try answering the question in basic terms. This is because it's a yes or no question. Rather then a complex one that requires you directing me to other links.

No, you won't have to pay again for purchased Apps.

If you delete the App from the iPad, you can then go to the App Store App, under the Purchased Tab and find your Apps there. Downloadable Apps will have a cloud icon next to them Tapping on that will initate the download free of charge.

No; All purchased applications are tied to your Apple ID. You can download them as many times as you like 🙂 However if you delete them off your device you will lose the app data
