How to share purchases with your family - https://support.apple.com/HT201079

- "When you turn on purchase sharing, everyone in your family gets access to apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books that family members buy. "


'If you don't see your family's shared content' click here --> http://support.apple.com/HT201454

- Includes how the Organizer can turn on and off purchase sharing.


Make sure the item is being shared. Sometimes signing out and back in again gets status information to update.


Note that not all subscriptions can be shared.
