How can I gift a copy of an app that I already own? I own an app. I want to purchase an additional copy of that app for a friend using iTunes' gift functionality. In the iOS App Store and the iTunes store on a Mac, the gift option doesn't appear for apps that I already own. I can't believe that Apple doesn't let you purchase an additional copy of something that you already own as a gift for someone else.



App that I own




App that I don't




Am I missing something, or is app gifting really this half baked?
The gift function is embedded in the small triangle control to the right of the Buy|Download text - almost looking like it's the same button on iTunes for a computer.



Just click the square button and select Gift This App. On iOS you will want to press the rectangle with the arrow key and select Gift.
