All Apps that you purchase are forever tied to the AppleID account from which they are purchased.


Apps that remain available - and are compatible with the target device - can be freely downloaded to other devices that are signed-in to iCloud and the App Store with the same AppleID without having to pay again.


If you use a different AppleID, purchased Apps and services will not be directly available to the different account. However, using Family Sharing, it may be possible to share purchased items with up to five other AppleIDs.
