Giving KNFB Reader as a gift is easy! You can obtain iTunes or Google Play gift cards at many local retailers such as Target or Walmart, or online at Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/>. To redeem iTunes gift cards, open the App Store, scroll down to the bottom of the page under ”Featured,” and choose “Redeem.” You will need to sign in using your Apple ID, and then you will be prompted to use your phone’s camera to photograph the bar code on the gift card, or enter the redemption code from the card manually. To redeem a Google Play gift card, choose the Navigation button in the upper left corner, then scroll down and choose ”Redeem,” and enter the redemption code located on the Google Play gift card.
 
You can gift KNFB Reader iOS directly to someone by opening the App Store, and searching for KNFB Reader.  Once you find the app, select the “Share” button at the top of the screen near the “Back” button, then choose that and then choose “Gift.” This will bring up a screen for you to enter the recipient’s email address (you will need to use the email address they have linked to their Apple ID). Then you may choose to add a message and set the date to send your gift.
