Yes, I know; that's what I said.

Let me repeat myself since so many people weren't able to understand
what I wrote.

When I buy an app, on my iPad, iPhone, or Mac, the app is downloaded to
all three devices automatically.

When an app is updated on one device, it is updated only to that
device; it is not automatically updated to the other two devices, and
the only way to ensure it is updated to all devices is to sync the iOS
devices with the computer.  (Yes, auto updates can take place on the
iPhone and iPad, but those are separate and distinct actions that can
take place at different times.  Neither of those updates automatically
update their copies on the Mac.)

It has nothing to do with the cloud; it's a WiFi sync between the iOS
device and the computer on the same network.
