You do need iTunes.<br />
<br />
If you share the same appleid you can tell your other ipads to download apps automatically from within the itunes settings.
</div>


<div>
As stated, yes you do need an iTunes/Apple ID. &nbsp;Use one iTunes account and on the iPads go to:<br />
<br />
Settings &gt;&nbsp;iTunes &amp;&nbsp;App Store &gt;&nbsp;Scroll to the section labeled Automatic Downloads and make sure there is a green button next to all three (Music, Apps, Updates).

I haven't used itunes to download apps to multiple ipads. I gather MDM is the way to go to do this.
</div>


<div>
15 ipads, looking at maybe going via an MDM called Meraki to deploy. Not sure how it's done thought, but I think you can just download apps to each ipad via this.
</div>


<div>
Although the answers given are feasible, I gather apple configurator is the best method for multiple ipads.
</div>


<div>
Apple Configurator IS an MDM application. The acronym MDM simply means multiple device management.
</div>


<div>
I was thinking of MDM as in mobile device management using tools like Cisco's Meraki

IPAD Apps

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

iPad

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
