how to reinstall apps

I see no link to 're-install' apps.

My Affinity Photo is playing up and I thought it would be useful to reinstall it. But the app store just says 'open'. Do I have to delete the app first?

Thanks

Deleted, reinstalled, app remembered all previous settings including problem!! Affinity are hopefully investigating. Problem was simply that I could not paint on a blank layer. Occasionally not on mask either.

also at first Affinity’s advice on reinstalling via Apple store was incorrect which explains original question. Thanks and issue closed here.
