Apple’s First Android App Helps You Migrate to an iPhone

Apple may have seen record sales for the iPhone ever since its release but that hasn’t stopped it from trying to convert further Android users. The latest effort from Cupertino is a new app for Android dubbed ‘Move to iOS’.

The app does exactly what you’d expect it to do. Saving you from the hassle of painstakingly transferring data manually, it covers all the essentials including Contacts, Message history, Camera photos/videos, Web bookmarks, Mail accounts and Calendar events.

When sending data, the iPhone creates its own Wi-Fi network, requests a security code and then transfers all the data under the corresponding categories, rather than using the cloud.

The Move to iOS app is supported on phones or tablets running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich of yesteryears and later.

In true Android fanboy fashion, over 12,000 reviewers have given the app a 1-star rating

And already, the reaction of Android fans isn’t exactly warming. As was noted, the app, just hours after its release has thousands of one-star reviews. As of latest, the app has a pathetic rating of 1.7 out of 5 stars, and has been given the one-star treatment 12,241 times.

Dig deeper and you’ll find that hardly anyone of them has actually tried the app themselves. While this behavior is hardly acceptable, it is highly unlikely that a sudden change will be seen in fortunes anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Apple, before its big iPhone launch on the 25^th of September is trying to lure as many people to its tribe as possible. A solution to trolling remains largely unfound, though.
