My Opinion on AnyTrans for iOS

Based on my testing result, AnyTrans for iOS is safe. Most importantly, its iOS Mover function is really free. And it can transfer many types of Android content to iOS device. They are Music, Movies, Ringtones, Photo Library, Books, Contacts, etc. But in the same time, not all Android contents can be transferred. Besides, its interface is easy to use. And the scanning process is very fast. Meanwhile it also provides useful and detailed guide to help users make good use of AnyTrans.

What’s more, AnyTrans for iOS provides a variety of features. They are Photos Management, iOS Mover, Air Backup, etc. Thus, if you are interested in these features, AnyTrans is worthy buying.

About the iOS Mover function, it provides two modes to transfer Android data: 1-Click Transfer and Transfer by Category. 1-Click Transfer including Content to iCloud, Content to iOS and Content to iTunes. In particular, i do not encounter any technical issues (like freeze, crash, etc) when use this software. But i am still disappointed about its transfer rate. Because it failed to transfer 1464 items to my iCloud at one time. In addition, the social app data on my HUAWEI also can not be transferred, whatever WhatsApp, Line and Kik. But it seems that 1464 items is too much to transfer at one time.

In total, given my testing result, I think AnyTrans for iOS is a good data transferring software. Especially, I really like its interface. In particular, with its free trial version, users can transfer Android data to iOS Device, iCloud even iTunes efficiently.

AnyTrans for iOS has many features. If you are interested in it, it’s better to try its free trial version prior to purchase. But if you think the price of AnyTrans is a bit high, you can give alternatives as below a try.

Alternatives to AnyTrans for iOS

Move to iOS – It is totally free. Apple provides this app to help users transfer android data to iOS device easily and quickly. The supported iOS content are contacts, messages, photos, music, videos, calendar, app, etc. But it is only available for a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Therefore, if your iOS device is already set up, you need to restore it to the factory settings at first. Besides, another flaw is it can only work under Wi-Fi/Cellular data. Thus you will not be allowed to transfer Android content offline. What’s more, both Android and iOS device have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi.

Phone Transfer– Paid. Its price is $29.95, which is one-time paid. Once you purchase it, you will enjoy lifetime free upgrade and technical support. Similar to AnyTrans for iOS, it is compatible with Windows and Mac OS. But compared with AnyTrans for iOS, it doesn’t support to transfer Ringtones, Movies, Books, Zipped Files, and Document to iOS device. However, if these data are not to your most needs, Phone Transfer is a good choice.
