With the launch of iOS 6, users lost the ability to gift apps to others directly from the App Store, with users required to turn to the desktop version of iTunes if they wished to send an app gift. But as noted by iFun [Google translation], Apple has now quietly updated the share button in the iOS 6 App Store to include the option to gift paid apps.

Not only are users once again able to gift apps, but they can now schedule delivery of their gifts, up to 90 days in the future.

(View all)Glad I did not upgrade to iOS 6. Clearly a lot of loose ends for Apple to wrap up.
Oh yes clearly. Cause, you know, gifting apps is a MUST HAVE feature. /sarcasm
#2 post =). I now can spend my apple gift card i got for christmas 2 years ago, on people this year :)
You actually can't gift apps with allowances/gift certificates.
Who's to say someone doesn't just gift themselves a ton of apps.
It all seems that one day someone at Apple got up and thought lets do some editing. just like i do once in while with icons on my desktop. drag them to the trash!
I want to buy Logic for somebody...annoying :)
