I tried family sharing with my wife, and it resulted in her being unable to purchase any apps, even though she was set up as an adult user.

We ended up turning it off because sharing apps wasn't worth the "Hey, can you buy this app for me?" coordination.

And then there was all manner of nonsense after we turned it off, too.

I assume there are other weird bugs in family sharing.

Works fine in our household. The only time I'm alerted is when the CC statement arrives. Then I rib her for her CC Saga addiction.

Aaaand this is why I probably won't try it. I'll deal with being the only one who "knows the iTunes password".
