Many apps offer the functionality of "restore in-app purchase". Look for it, make sure it's there before you purchase anything. – Andy Yan Jul 15 '17 at 01:17

First, a reboot will never "revert" your completed IAP, and never should it (unless serious problems with hardware that causes data loss).
When you uninstall and re-install an app (or simply clears its data), then:
- If that app supports cloud backup, your data will be recovered and nothing is lost or reverted
- If that app has no backup then:
- All consumable purchases are lost, so is your dollars.
- All non-consumable purchases are also lost, but they are supposed to be restorable (not "recoverable")
See Consumable and non-consumable purchases.
- Consumable purchases are like golds, gems and timed boosts that does not last forever.
- Non-consumable purchases are like premium unlocks, special characters and coin doublers that lasts forever after purchase.
