May 19, 2015 7:32 AM in response to shadifromlebanonby Demo,Auto downloads allows purchases and downloads that you make on one iOS device that uses the same Apple ID, to download to all devices using that Apple ID. You can download purchases to all devices when this is enabled.
In other words, if you own another iPad and an iPhone and you use the same Apple ID on all three devices, if you turn on auto downloads, whatever you download on the one device will download to the other devices. That is how this works. If you are expecting the iPad to randomly download apps automatically, that's not how it works.
Maybe I am totally misunderstanding you, but that is how your statement makes the situation sound to me.
Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
EDIT- if you are saying that the button isn't working as it should, sign out of your ID in the settings where you see the option for automatic downloads. Then restart your iPad and then sign in again.
