One Note has (severely) changed their layout, and I have one device that had automatic app updates turned off, which LUCKILY preserved the older (highly prized) version of the app. My phone is somewhat damaged, so I'd like to start using one of the backup phones I have or a new one.

Forgive me if some of this is unnecessary:

I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus Running 10.1.1 and has One Note version 15.31 running on it (which I LOVE)

**********************

I'd like to save that version and put it on the following, if possible:

An iPhone 6s Plus running IOS 10.1.1
an iPhone 6s running IOS 9.3.2

And I'd like to get an iPhone 8 Plus running the latest stuff, and then to add that version of One Note on to it as well.

I can use a Mac or PC, and on the PC I know how to install any version of iTunes... years ago it used to be you could drag and drop apps from a device and litterally put them in a folder on iTunes almost as if they were photos in a folder. But now, I see that I can "import purchases" and so on, but they don't seem to be able to be lifted from my current phone unless I back up the whole device and reinstall that on a new phone.

Is there a way I can lift the version of the One Note app from my current iPhone 7 and save it onto an iTunes account to install on future devices, both older and new? Besides the camera, it's the main thing I would use my phone for.

Thanks in advance!
