i bought gta sa on my iPad. can i re-download it on my macbook pro

so, i bought grand theft auto san Andreas on my iPad air 2 a few months and i recently go a macbook pro, and i want to know if i can redownload it on my macbook. i am using the same apple id on the mac app store, but it says that i have to buy it for $16.99. i also bought battle supremacy on my iPad, and it said that i also had to buy it, so i did, but i wasn't charged for it. can someone please let me know if i can redownload gat sa because i don't really want to spend another $16.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

iPads run on iOS. Macs run on OS X. iPad apps won't run on a Mac.

If there is a Mac version it is usually a separate purchase.

Late 2012 Mac mini, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3; Apple Watch, 38 mm silver AL, Watch OS 1.0.1; iPad Air 2 & iPhone 6+, iOS 8.3

ok. what about the battle supremacy game. i hit the buy option, it downloaded, and i was never billed for it and i had already purchased it on my iPad . i did receive a conformation of the purchase by email, but my visa card was never billed, so would Grand Theft Auto probably do the same thing?

Does the receipt show that you should have been billed $4.99 + tax? Do you have any kind of credit on your account, like from an iTunes gift card? Are you sure the credit card wasn't billed?

If the developer lists prices for both versions, you usually pay for both versions, especially when getting them from both the Mac App Store and the iTunes App Store.

Hopefully you don't try to make a purchase in the future and it won't be approved because something messed up and you have an outstanding bill for an unpaid app.

You need to separately buy the Mac OS X version of it. The developer needs to create them separately.
