Why a game I bought years ago doesn’t show on my purchases?

Some times an app or game I purchased is no longer available at my Country store and I can’t redownload it and it’s not listed in my past purchases, only shows the receipt in Media and Purchases. Any ideas how to find it again?

iPad, iOS 10

The purchased list is app store specific. If the app is no longer distributed in your country, it won't be available to redownload.


The developer decides which app stores in which to offer their app.
