I've just bought a Vivotab and I was just wondering if I have to repurchase apps I've bought on my wp?
Maybe a dumb question but it doesn't seem right to pay for the same app/game twice. Thanks!

The apps for Windows 8/RT are not the same as the apps for Windows Phone, so you will need to purchase the proper version for your tablet.

Ok. Bummer.. Thanks for your reply though.
You're welcome.

I don't have any paid games, only free games, but I learned the differences when I questioned why my achievements in Wordament from the Windows Phone version did not carry over to the Windows 8 version. They're considered two separate games. I actually started a thread asking that question, and someone answered it for me.
