Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to continue using a shared app past the point of In-App Purchase. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing - Apple Support
There are a few things that you can't share:
- Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
- In-App Purchases
- Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
- Items that were hidden
- Apps that aren't shareable
If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

Mar 26, 2015 7:12 AM in response to mario49by Dotryan,Sorry mario49. Does your reply mean that if a game is paid for as an in app purchase it cannot be shared? So if it's paid for at the beginning of the game it can be shared?
