Sharing App Store links with international users

If I post a link to an app on the App Store (I'm in the US), and a user outside of the US clicks on it, will he/she be directed to the corresponding App Store page for the appropriate country?


Sent from my iPhone using iCafe app

I use 2 App stores US and German (I have an address and use paypal)
not all apps are avaiable in all countries

So if I wanted to share the direct link to an app with someone in another country, then if their country also has the app, will the link be of any help to them, or should I just tell them to search for such and such?

I am not certain . If you post a link for an App in the US store it opens in the US store, Then when you try to buy it it will say you are not authorized to buy from that store.
It would make sense to tell them the search options.
I wonder so if I could gift an App to someone outside of the US ?

Apparently this isn't possible...

Apple should work on this. It would mean more sales for them, obviously. Maybe not huge numbers. Apple is good at finding money-earning potential from every nook and cranny, so they should be able to pull it off. Check out the article from which I pulled the quote below:

There are a few things to keep in mind, most importantly that both you and the gift recipient must be on the same regional App Store.
For example, a friend on the French App Store won’t be able to accept the app I bought them on the US store.

Maybe legal issues are getting in the way?

Interestingly, the same article points out something I wasn't aware of: You can no longer gift apps via your iOS device. You have to go to the iTunes store on your Mac or PC.

It's a legal issue.
Like I said I have an german Apple account too. But some Apps (mostly TV) will still not work living in the US.
I should try to turn of location service and see if that makes a difference?
So even if you are US citizen if you go on vacation to some other country some Apps (mainly media type) will not work.
