Apple Adds 'Gift This App' Feature to the App Store

Apple has added a new 'Gift This App' feature to the App Store which allows you to purchase apps for your family and friends.

Click the down arrow under the application icon on the app's details page to locate the new feature.

Please select how you would like to gift delivered. You can send the gift via email or you can print the gift using your own printer. If you select Print Gift Myself as your delivery method, you will not be able to print the same Gift to multiple recipients. You will have the option to Gift the same item again to a different recipient, however, once the Gift has been purchased. After selecting the method of delivery, please fill out the recipient information and click Continue. The maximum number of characters allowed int he Personal Message field is 500.

You will be able to review your order and make any necessary changes before sending or printing. Your credit card or payment account will be charged when you click the Buy Gift button on the next page (iTunes Store credit cannot be used to purchase a gift). You will receive a confirmation email receipt of purchase and the gift will be emailed to the recipient's email address(es) you provide in the Recipient's Email field.

Gifts can only be redeemed in the store country from which they were originated.
