You can gift apps directly from the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a>, iPod touch, or <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/ipad/">iPad</a>, without ever touching a computer and without the need for purchasing an iTunes gift card. This makes for a perfect last minute Christmas shopping or birthday present, since you can literally buy someone a present on the car ride over to their house Christmas morning. Gifting apps is very simple:</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Gift an iOS App from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the App Store</h2> <p>This process is done directly on the iOS device within the App Store, but it can be repeated in iTunes as well. </p> <ul> <li>Launch the App Store</li> <li>Find the app you want to gift and tap on it</li> <li>Scroll down below the screenshots of the app and tap on “Gift This App”, then sign into the iTunes Store</li> <li>Tap “Next” on the app summary screen</li> <li>Fill in your name, the recipients name, and the recipients email address, as well as a note to attach to the gifted app (note: including several recipients email addresses will buy the app for each person)</li> <li>On the purchase summary screen, tap on “Buy Gift” in the lower right corner</li> </ul> <p>The app will immediately be sent to the gift recipient, who receives an email with a link to download the iOS app to their iTunes library. </p> <p>If you’d rather wrap the app as a physical gift, you can do so with iTunes by choosing to print a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/17/how-to-redeem-an-app-store-promo-code-mac-app-store-ios-app-store/">redeemable code</a> instead of emailing the app. Gifted apps will appear in your purchase history, so if you or the recipient loses the redemption email, it can easily be retrieved again. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A_fo7PYMeZmYTdssK9jdngKmb8E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A_fo7PYMeZmYTdssK9jdngKmb8E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A_fo7PYMeZmYTdssK9jdngKmb8E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A_fo7PYMeZmYTdssK9jdngKmb8E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRdveJsz-nU:InYIzoB12os:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/lRdveJsz-nU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
