iCloud icon to install
You can also view
only the “not istalled”
apps here

are free regardless of what you paid for
the app or what its current cost is
Download updates
individually or in bulk

app purchases out
to all devices with
the same Apple ID
Make sure
you are
logged in to
the correct
account

own setings

16. Summary
App Store on iPad is easier to navigate than App Store on iTunes
much less clutter
Use the Search box in the top right for fastest results
search app names, partial names, or function (ie: browser, etc)
If you have multiple devices under the same account turn on
Automatic Downloads for easy syncing
don’t use Automatic Downloads if devices are different capacities,
used for different purposes, or used by different people
Genius is a great way to explore comparable apps to ones you have
