User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello. An app I love was deleted. I want to get it back. Apple said to go to Apple Store and find the same app you had and redownload. I can’t find the redownload button

Look for the cloud icon where the Get button is for initial downloads/purchases.

Once an app is deleted, you will need to use the download button. Is that the button you say you can't find? If so, a screen shot would help us understand the situation.
