AnyTrans from iMobie is probably the best alternative to iTunes when it comes to managing content on your iPhone/iPad. In fact, to call it an “alternative” is doing a grave injustice to the software. It’s much better, simpler, faster and cooler than iTunes in almost every way you can think of.
iMobie AnyTrans
Unlike Android phones, Apple mobile devices or tabs don’t allow you to transfer anything conveniently without having iTunes or any additional software. So, There are several programs that can help you to do your task more conveniently. Some of them are better than iTunes in specific functionalities. AnyTrans is one of them.
AnyTrans has a slick interface (that’s super minimal and clean) and works just like iTunes (copy, transfer, sync, etc.). However, it adds a ton of features including a really powerful app manager, file manager, iCloud data explorer, a way to easily transfer files between your iPhone and computer (vice-versa) and between two connected iDevices.
- Sync and Transfer
- App and File Management
- Air Backup Manager
- Ringtone Manager
- Android to iPhone File Mover
- Clone iPhone
- Backup Manager
- iCloud Explorer
- Media Downloader
Overall, AnyTrans is one heck of a software that can effectively replace iTunes if you start working with it. Sure it’s a slightly costly affair at $39.99 (single license) and $59.99 (almost unlimited license) but it’s worth every penny you pay for.

iMobie PhoneRescue will salvage an amazing amount of files from your iPhone, iPad or iPod as long as you can power it up. If your phone is dead, there’s still hope since the app can unlock your iTunes backup and let you view individual files you had previously backed up. iMobie PhoneRescue is impressive but it still doesn’t give you a reason not to back up your device on iTunes or iCloud.
