Hello people. I have a question. I have an Ipad mini and I'm going to buy the Ipad air or Ipad 3 in three or four months. I know you can download a game you already bought on a second Ipad but can you download the IAP as well without paying a second time? For example, I like playing the Elder Sign and Zen Pinball games but if I buy the IAP for them, will I have to pay for them a second time when I buy my second Ipad?
Any purchase that is not consumable (e.g. coin packs) you can re-download without paying a second time.
If the item bought gets lost when used up, it is consumable. IAPs with permanent effects like doublers, character unlocks and chapter unlocks are non-consumable.
Except, not always, Rubicon's recent game for instance contains a "consumable" tripler, and occasionally devs will attach consumables to a permanant IAP. It's really just whatever they decide to make them.
That leads me to my question again, how is there a way to know for certain cause there are sooooo many different inapps nowadays? And how can kids know what is what? Or even some parents who know nothing of gaming? I think they need to make the buttons somehow different, like universal apps with the plus sign.
If you restore your new iPad from a backup of the old iPad then it'll have everything the old one had.
