HT201272 I tried a free app. I liked it, so I purchased the full version.

I dowloaded a free app to my iPhone4S. I liked the app, so I purchesed the full version.
It's nowhere on my phone or MacBook. iTunes shows the app as downloaded and the download button is greyed out.
I tried to download it again from the updates on my phone, purchased section, and it's not there either.
Billing has charged me for the app, now I would like to find it or redownload it, if someone can please tell me how to do that.

The App Store app is a built-in app, so it can't be deleted/redownloaded. Have you tried closing the app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ?
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
