Family purchase share doesn't work

I have two kids and they are in the iCloud family. I purchased Procreate for one kid, and wanted to install it on another kid's iPad, but it asked me to purchase again. Everyone in the family enables Purchase Share. Does anyone know why the family purchase share doesn't work??

To access shared purchases you need to go through the Purchase list of the account that bought it, not directly through the App Store entry.
