Hey guys,
I bought a new iPad Air few days ago and met an annoying thing.
Am I right, that if I have enabled Family Sharing to make stuff shared I need to buy them using my account (as family organizer)?
I tried to download ProCreate, but I found that I need to pay for it, but in February I've bought it on my wife's iPad using her account :(
Maybe I can transfer the app to family somehow or there is no way and I need to buy it again using my account?
iPad Air, iOS 13

No, other members of the Share can buy things via their own accounts, but you, as the organiser, will be charged for them.

If the app is shareable, and if she has sharing of her purchases enabled on her account (and hasn't hidden it), you should go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and select her id there and download it, not use the main part of the store : Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing - Apple Support

Oh, there was a small misunderstanding between me and iOS :D
I saw in my wife's Family Sharing settings, that purchases sharing is on, but found that she needed to go inside and turn it on on her side because it was a general status of purchases sharing feature :D
