Paul, If she only uses your account, then all your apps will sync onto the iPhone 4. Make sure that you uncheck the items like mail accounts in iTunes before syncing it, so your account information is not in her mail, or she will be getting all of your messages too. And I don't think you will want to plug your phone into her computer for the same reason.

Hello, I have an iPhone 5S running IOS 8.0.2 which I sync to iTunes on my iMac. My wife will shortly inherit an iPhone 4 which has been reset to factory settings and which I recall will run IOS 7 but not IOS 8. She will want to manage this from her Windows PC and so will install iTunes on that PC. Presumably when my wife first connects the iPhone 4 to iTunes she will have to sign onto the iTunes store using my Apple ID and password and to tell iTunes that the iPhone 4 is a new phone. If she accesses the iTunes App store from the iPhone 4 she will likewise have to sign on using my Apple ID and password. Can my wife then install for free some of the Apps I have purchased from the iTunes store? If so what does she have to do to achieve that? I have enabled family sharing on my iPhone 5S but am not clear if all sharing devices have to be IOS 8. Many thanks for your advice.
