Mac applications do not run on iOS devices. Macs have different operating systems than iOS devices. Check your ipad's app store to see if a compatible app exists there.

There is one in the iPad app store. Would I have to purchase the app again?

You will have to purchase the iPad and iPhone versions separately as the Mac version will not work on IOS devices. Some apps work on both phone and iPad so they may not have to be purchased individually, but only IOS apps work on phones and tablets.
