    I am wondering. If i buy an app through the app store on my ipod, would i be charged again if i tried purchasing the sam app on my iphone?

    If so, what if i got the app at a lower price or free during a promotion, would i be charged again if the app is not on sale or free anymore?

    Please help.
    Thanks in advance. :)

    As long as you're using the same itunes account, you will not be charged again regardless of current price.

    Even though it shows the $0.99 buy button?
    They should make the button say "purchased" and theu u click it and then it shows the install button.

    Can you not simply plug your new device into the computer which you docked your old device into iTunes on? Then, after a short set-up, it should sync the wanted apps.

    I do not want to use itunes on my computer because it is a huge inconvience to me and itunes keeps wanting to sync other apps into my iphone that i dont want and its annoying to have to uncheck all of them. I'm an app addict and have over 500 apps in my itunes library, and i dont want 11 pages od apps to be synced onto my iphone.

    A message will pop up before the app downloads saying "you have already purchased this item. Press OK to download it again for free" I think everyone has that moment of fear before redownloading an app that the message won't poop up, but it always does. Assuming your purchasing in the same account, of course.
