How can I gift an app that I already purchased?

I have a related but different question. I bought an app that only opens on ipads. Not having an ipad I would like to give it away, that is, transfer my licence to a friend, deleting it from my account.

Any suggestions?

It seems like a plan that would work for regular apps (thanks for the tip). I think what's causing it to be more difficult for me, is that the iCreate Magazine app is free, and I want to "gift" one of the in-app-purchases of a particular issue of the magazine. Oh well. Maybe later. Great tip though. Thanks.

I'm running App Store 1.2.2 and *cannot* gift 'Day One' to someone who can really use it. I tried signing out, etc. and it STILL tells me its already on the computer and I get only 'Share' buttons. I live in Canada so maybe it's a North American licensing thing. Makes me mad. 😠

I've contacted the company. Maybe I can buy it from them and they can give her a serial number or something. Grrrrrrr...

Same version as you both on iPad and on iPhone ... 6.1.3(10B329) Just checked gifting from my iPad, same result. No gift option.

ya that works too

Have they come up with a solution yet? I'm trying to gift something I've already purchased.

How about creating a new Apple ID and doing it from there? No experience, but it seems likely?

but what a pain in the butt. will have to set it up with email, bank account details etc.

Come on Apple!

And just in response to giving a gift card, I do this often, but it's not practical for a $0.99 app

The iTunes store on the PC is the same ..... where the price should be it has *Download* because I already have the app. Clicking the arrow to the right of that DOES NOT have *Gift App* .... sorry

For what it's worth, I am doing this for Apps ..... not music. Don't know if that makes a difference. Definetly no *GIFT* option for me with anything I have already purchaced.
