How to Transfer Apps from iPhone to iPad Keeping All App Data

Frequently Asked iPhone Question:

I have iPhone 5s with about five or so games that I paid for. I just got an iPad Air 2 today and was wondering can I transfer my apps from my iPhone to iPad by just redownloading them again, will it be free or would I have to pay all over, which I hope I don't have to do. Thanks a lot for the help.

Best Answer:

If an iPhone app can be used on iPad? With the release of the iPad, we heard about that the iPad will be capable of running all current iPhone apps without modification.
