Hi,
Before I created my account my dad installed some apps on the tablet, now that I have created my own account I can't access any of the apps he installed.
Please help.
Thanks!

Apps are "purchased" on a per user basis. Even free apps are considered "purchased". You need to install them under your account.

No, the app won't take double space, even if it's installed on both accounts. Only your own data for the app (like settings) could take some more space.
