iOS 9/iTunes 12.3 not syncing app through devices

Previously, if you downloaded a new app on your iPhone / iPad or updated an app on your iPhone / iPad, if you plugged that iPhone / iPad into the computer and clicked sync, the new apps, and updated apps would transfer through to iTunes. This no longer happens,

Yeah, that’s what this thread is about...

requiring users to manually download new apps, and update existing apps twice, once on their iPhone / iPad and once in iTunes

There's no requirement to download items multiple times.

Just download the app one time in iTunes and then update all your devices with the single download.

I really hope Apple will fix this,

It is clear that Apple does not understand or care that some users have limited broadband. Sure just download updates to iTunes. That isn't the issue. The issue is that previously one could download updates from a coffee shop or other free broadband source directly to an iPad or iPhone and then update iTunes from that device at home. And then update multiple idevices from iTunes. I have several devices needing updates for example. If your main iTunes computer is a large iMac you won't be dragging it to a coffee shop to update iTunes. It is a benefit taken away. An uneeded complication. A like of user understanding.

Yeah, that seems to have changed.
