Family Sharing apps not possible to share

Have Family Sharing but the apps does not appear on members list as "purchased". They have to be paid for. Why?

If I log on as me, dad, organizer, then the apps are downloadable and does not have to purchase them again.

Setup: 2 IOS8 (iPhone5) + 1 IOS7 (iPhone4) + 1 IOS6 (iPhone3); but the IOS version has no impact..the same happens on all three NOT signed in as Organizer

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2

ApplePate,



Not all content can be downloaded via Family Sharing. The information outlined below details how to go about determining if content can be shared via Family Sharing.


Make sure that an app is shareable

To see if you can share an app, go to its product page in the App Store and scroll down to Information. Then see if it says Yes or No in the Family Sharing section.


Some apps may not be enabled for Family Sharing. If you’ve acquired one of these apps, you will be able to see it in your purchase history, but your family members won't be able to see or redownload it.

If you don't see your family's shared content
