When Apple released iTunes 9, they allowed us to share favorite apps with our Facebook and Twitter friends from within the app store. Today they introduced a new feature, and now we can gift any app in the app store, just like we would gift a song. You must use your credit card on the account and cannot use gift cards or any other types of promotional payment to gift apps.In order for the feature to be activated, you must sign into your iTunes account and accept the new terms policy.
The changes we have made to the terms and conditions include the following:
• The “Gifts” section of the iTunes Store Terms of Sale have been changed to clarify that Gifts may not be used for in-app purchases, in-app subscriptions, upgrades, or the iPod touch OS, and to explain that some gifts require compatible hardware and parental control settings so they can be redeemed.
• A new “Gifts” section has been added to the App Store Terms and Conditions explaining the conditions under which Apps can be gifted, including an explanation that Gifts may not be used for in-app purchases, in-app subscriptions, upgrades or the iPod touch OS, and to explain that some gifts require compatible hardware and parental control settings so they can be redeemed.”
