How to Gift a App on iTunes – iPhone & iPad

June 24, 2010 by Amit Bhawani

Buying a excellent application is great because you can enjoy it to the fullest, but when you are celebrating some function like a birthday then the best gift you can give is gifting a paid application. Its a very easy process and useful reward to the other person because there is nothing else available in the virtual world which is as good as sending a few excellent applications as gifts.

In order to get this task done you need to first login to your iTunes Account and then search for the App which you want to gift to your friend. Next below the applications logo you will find the price and a small drop down arrow. Click on this arrow and then click on ‘Gift This App’ option.

Gift iTunes App Store

Next you will be asked to input the iTunes Password from the account you are going to send this gift, because the account should have a linked credit card to make the payment for the App. There are two different ways of sending it ie either by Sending it via Email or else Print Gift yourselves. You need to enter the Sender’s Name, Recipients Name, Recipients Email, Verify Email & Personal Message for sending the Gift.

Send Gift App iTunes

You will be asked to confirm the details before you send the gift to someone and the credit card will be charged only when you click on the final Buy Now button. You need to make sure that the other person has a compatible OS & the device for redeeming the gift and if its not working then you can request for a Refurn for incompatible gifts from the purchase history of your account.

    Thank you for this article. My husband loves his iPhone and downloading applications. Giving him an app as a gift is a great idea. I had thought of this before, but was not sure how to buy an app for someone else. Thank you!

    I know you need a Credit Card linked to your iTunes account and that it won’t work with any existing credits you have, but do you know if you can use Paypal as the payment method? It is one of the billing options in your account.
