For such functionality, you would have to capture their email address and then send a request to a mail server to send an email. Or you could use something like Parse to capture their email and store it in the cloud. We will be having a course on Parse very shortly. See the roadmap for details.

Amit... I so enjoy your tutorials. Would it be possible to do one that demonstrates how to do a contact form in ios with the data being emailed. Using a php script would be fine in my case. Thank you! Michael

Glad to have you as a student. It's too specific of an example for us to cover but you should look into something like this: https://github.com/mikecheckDev/MDContactForm and see this discussion on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9236672/send-contact-form-fields-in-email
