'Move to iOS' App Allows for No Hassle Android-to-iOS Data Transfer

Google should reject that app. Simply because Apple will never allow such an app on their platform.

That was my thought too.

RE: Android purchased (or not) apps - Apple kinda did this with music when they launched iTunes match. They didn't really care where your crappy 128kb MP3 came from - if they had it in their library - it was a match. I honestly think if there was a iOS equivalent app available then just gift it to the people coming over from Android. Apple want you in the the App Store eco system... simples.

Not this year anymore, they just started creating their own news app five minutes ago

Yeah, now in addition to Milk Music, they'll have Latte News. Genius!

Yes, but don't forget that users pay $25/year for that privilege. It isn't completely free.

What if Apple had made it a policy that the Android app equivalents in Apple's App Store would immediately be available for download at no cost?

Because there's a 95% chance those apps were pirated?

Sad that this is a thing instead of it being the other way around. It's like the Windows-to-Mac migration utilities. And like with Windows, I'm assuming it's a PITA to move from Android manually since it scatters your files all over the place.

apple wouldnt let android put this app on their App Store.

A 'move to iOS' app wouldn't make any sense on the App Store.

Move to Samsung app is already in the works.

You do realize that Samsung already has an app to do this, right? Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.easyMover

That would be HILARIOUS if they did & Apple immediately yanked Google Maps, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Search(Google Now), and every other Google app from the Apple App Store!!!
Excellent idea. *slow clap*

samsung has an OS?

Yes. It's called Tizen...

Still, even a Touchwiz skinned Android build can be considered its own OS based on how you look at it.

Apple should install a blender in their stores for all those Android phones. Good entertainment whilst they transfer their data.

And it would be a perfect example of "dedicated narcissism", wouldn't it?
