Gift Apps. Music & Games with Microsoft’s Digital Gift Cards app

If you wanted to gift apps, music and games from Windows Phone, Windows and Xbox Store to somebody, Microsoft just made it easy with the Digital Gift Cards App.  Made only for US, this app lets you customize the gift card in various ways, it also let your friends choose on how they want to spend the gift card if you allow them.

Digital Gift Cards for Windows Phone

Features:

  • Select a gift by occasion and interests.
  • Include a personal note.
  • Easily select friends and family from your contact list.
  • Send your gift today or select a future delivery date – no shipping deadlines or last minute trips to the store.
  • The perfect “add-on” for family and friends receiving an Xbox or Windows device.
  • Track and manage your gifts using the History feature.
  • Recipients can choose great content from the Xbox and Windows stores to be enjoyed on their Windows 8 phone, PC, tablet, or Xbox.

The app also lets you pre-schedule gift cards n advance in case of occasions. Pretty amazing if you don’t have time to pickup something on your own. Microsoft has no option for Digital Gift Cards, on the phone and this is a good move.

While everything is awesome about the app, Microsoft really need to stop taking stand for US only. Imagine if they open this for every country, how easy it will be for its audience in global scale to share apps from one family account to another.
