I bought an app on my ipad and won't show up on my iphone?

I looked under my App Store> updates> purchased> not on this iphone… And it isn't there! Why?

I double checked on my ipad, under settings> General> manage storage and the little thing is slid on the green bar so it's backed up in iCloud. It's also for sure avaliable for iPhone, it's the Carrot alarm clock.

I really don't want to pay for it again.
I've restarted both devices.
No luck.
Also, when I search it in the App Store on my phone it just says $1.99 not "open" like usual when I download stuff on my ipad first.

Make sure your signed into your apple is on the iPhone. You also might have auto download turned off. You can also go to purchased and download it from there. If that still doesn't work then just search the app click on it and hit install… Hope this helps!

It's probably ipad only app

  • Using an iPhone bought app on a new iPad 2, or do I have to purchase them again? So I'm selling my iPhone and getting an iPad and I have previously bought GarageBand and Xewton Music Studio (which was rather expensive for an app) for my iPhone. Now if I buy an iPad 2 will I be able to run these apps on the iPad 2 or will I have to re buy them again?
  • Iphone won't show all the albums under an artist and won't show one artist at all? When I go to artists on my music on iphone it doesn't show all the albums under an artist, also an artist isn't even showing up there. When I go to songs and albums I can see everything, just confused and would like to fix it so it shows under album.
  • I deleted an app, and now it won't show up? I just got a new phone (if it helps it's one of the latest iPhones) and had been uploading apps. I deleted one app, and the next day when I went to go upload it, it didn't work. In the App Store it says that the app is uploaded (it has the OPEN button next to it) but the app is nowhere to be found. I've even asked Siri if she could open the app, but her only reply is that she doesn't have an app with that name. What do I do now?
