Is there a way to transfer an app that’s no longer in the App Store from one iPad to another?

It is weird that iPad does not have the touch share option.

Re: Dr. Phone

What function do you need with this app?

Copy all of my downloaded videos to my new iPad.

To your camera roll?

Is the app still in your purchased list?

I do not this application there. Probably because this is not available anymore.

OK, I have a few apps no longer available in the app store, but are still in my purchased list. If it's not in your purchased list, then you probably can't get it on the other iPad. Even if you restored the iPad with the back up from the iPad with the app. Didn't use to be that way, but seems to be now. You would get a message that says the app is no longer available. So you need plan B.

Does not make any sense that has changed. I could ask the peeps at the Apple Store might know how.

Maybe, but if it's no longer available in the app store, then there's not anything they can do.

An app that is no longer available in the App Store, to my knowledge, can't be transferred. You'll likely need to find an alternative. Or you could contact the developer and see if they have another app that does the same thing.

Gosh, this is really lousy for @Honey Beagle since she spent $49.99 on it.

Re: Dr. Phone

How long has she been using the app? Seems like the best thing to do is to contact the developer. However, unless the developer is getting money from new sales or a subscription service, they might well have abandoned this app.

Re: Dr. Phone

Just of curiosity, do in-app purchases still work on an app that is no longer in the app store?

Re: Dr. Phone

If you have a Mac or PC, iMazing should be able to back up the apps from one device and restore them to another. (Note: I have never used this feature before, but it should be able to work.)

Actually higher. Like 50.35. Do not know why the extra charge. The peeps at Dr. Phone asked me to give them another try. I wrote back and let them know to ignore that nonsense of Apple not letting peeps transfer applications. Told them to update their programme to allow this.

I also purchased imazing like forever ago. That is what I am looking into using tonight. I have both iPads backed up to imazing.

Been using the application for quite a while now.

If the app is no longer in the App Store, that means it no longer will get updates to fix bugs and all. Why don't you find an app that accomplishes what you need to replace it? We can help you find one, if we knew exactly what you need.

Re: Dr. Phone

The app might be available in another app store, other than the US app store. No clue where though. I get this when I tap to get it from their website.

Are all the videos YouTube videos you want to keep?

Re: Dr. Phone

Maybe some iMoreians from outside the US could check the App Stores in their country?
