Sharing Apps: Easier Than You Think



When it comes to enabling the iPhone to do more than it was intended to do, people typically incorporate hacks or special software to incorporate a new function. So won't it be refreshing today to discover that you can share apps between iPhones without hacks or trickery?

It's simple. Just log into the iTunes library where you want to share the app with your AppleID that you used to buy the app the first time. Go to the AppStore and buy the app again. However, instead of having to pay, you will be prompted with a dialog that says, "You have already purchased this item," and you'll be able to download it again for free. Pretty cool, huh?

Then, just log out of your account on this second computer and the app should sync right up with the iPhone connected to that library. This is great if you and your spouse both have iPhones but don't want to have to buy duplicate apps.
