Enter the required information to e-mail the certificate and click on Continue. If you are printing the certificate, you will only be required to enter your name, recipient's name, and a note.If want to send this same app to more than one person, you can enter multiple e-mail address by placing a comma between each of them. This allows you to go through the purchase process only once. Screenshot by Jason CiprianiConfirm your purchase by clicking on Buy Gift. Sorry, an iTunes gift card can't be used to gift apps to other family members. Nice try, though.
