What if a pokies app comes with a price.

Few pokies apps at app stores are paid apps. This means you need to buy these pokies directly from the app store.

To download and buy apps from the App Store, you need an Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the account that you use to access Apple services. If you use other Apple services like iCloud, sign in to the App Store with the same Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one.

If you’re in the App Store on any of your devices like iPad and see the download button  near an app, you already bought or downloaded that app. When you tap or click the download button , the app downloads to your device again, but you are not charged again. You can also see a list of apps that you purchased and redownload them.

Tap the App Store app on your Home screen.

After your app finishes downloading, you can move it to a different spot on your Home screen. Apps stay up-to-date by default.

If you want to know specific information about an app, like what languages the app is available in, the app’s file size, or its compatibility with other Apple devices, scroll to the bottom of an app’s page. You might be able to tap some sections to learn more.

You can also contact the app developer for help with an app’s functionality.

If you want to download apps that are larger than 200 MB over cellular, go to Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store, then tap App Downloads and choose the option that you want.
