Absolutely! How? There are two main ways you can do this:
- Go to the App Store or Google Play Store on the other person's device. Sign in with your Apple or Google account that you used to make the original purchase and download the app as normal. It should be shown as free. When you're done, sign out again.
- This is probably the simplest way but it does mean that you'll need to enter your account password whenever you want to update the app
- Setup Family Sharing on Apple devices or Family Library on Android devices
- Using this method, you can share your purchases between family members
- These programs are run by Apple and Google and they have great articles to help you

- Google Family Library: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852?hl=en
Please note that you cannot share apps between different operating systems. That means if you bought our apps on Apple, they can't be shared on Android and vice versa. If this is what you are trying to do, please contact us.
Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble, the first thing to try is to just reboot your devices. Sometimes it takes that for the app stores to recognize the changes to your accounts.
Otherwise, as the two programs are administered by Apple and Google, it's best to contact them directly.
