  Gifting is back!

   

  When IOS 5 came out Apple added a new feature where you can gift an app. With the launch of IOS 6 that feature was removed, but now just in time for the holidays Apple re-added that feature. When you gift an app it has many cool features. Here are a few:

  1. Add your name

  2. Add the recipient’s email

  3. Add a personal message

  and one of the coolest features is:

  you can choose a date to send it. So if you forget to do things a lot you can send the app up to 90 days in advance (but of course they won’t get it until the set date).

  Finding things on the internet can be challenging. If you are looking for a certain thing somewhere you would have to go to that website, but with the website Soovle you can find everything you need on one place.

You just select the place you want to search at, type in the thing you want to search, and Soovle will take you to that website and will display the results. Go give Soovle a search and email me which one you like better. Google, Bing, Yahoo, or Soovle. soovle.com
