Yes, but you have to use iTunes. Go tthe app store button in iTunes. You may have to hit f6 a time or two to get to the search edit box. Type in the name of the app and hit enter. When you find the link to that app, hit enter. On that page, you will find a combo box that you can select gift app. You will find an edit box for their Email address, a box with your first name already in it, then a box to write a message. After that, you'll find a next button. the next screen is to select a theme, I usually just hit the next button. At some point, on the next page you will find a buy app button and have to log in. Then finally a send gift button or just a confirmation that you successfully bought the app. Your friend will get an Email with a link to install the app. Once upon a time you could do this from the iPhone, but that has been impossible since iOS 8 point something.
