Over the years, backing up and transferring iOS data via iTunes has become the bane of our existence. What started as a simple program has now become weighed down and crammed full of features, meaning it can do practically anything, including device management. But by attempting to be a jack of all trades, it’s sadly a master of none. It never works how it should and the data migration process turns into a full-blown nightmare anytime you purchase a new device. No wonder Apple decided to kill it off.

Thankfully, there’s another option for iOS device management that simplifies your life instead of complicating it. It’s called AnyTrans® by iMobie and it’s an all-in-one iPhone manager and file-transfer app for both Mac and PC, as well as a powerful backup utility for all your iOS devices. Whether the content is from your iPhone, computer,  iTunes, iCloud, or even messaging apps like WhatsApp, it’ll all get backed up quickly and painlessly. It’s basically as easy to use as copying to and from a flash drive. And ultimately, it’ll consolidate access to all your content to one place, including music, videos, photos, iMessages, books, Safari history, voice memos, and more.

Here’s a glimpse into its capabilities:

Compared to iTunes, which decides for you what will be backed up, AnyTrans® puts you in the driver’s seat. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, you can select exactly what you want to backup or transfer and where you want to backup or transfer it to.

Since it’s launch, it’s amassed over 10 million users worldwide and earned itself a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating. TechRadar even boasted its efficacy, claiming, “AnyTrans allows for greater flexibility when it comes to two-way file synchronization and far better phone management options.”

It usually costs $69.99 for a Mac subscription to AnyTrans®, but you can sign up for just $29.99 while it’s on sale and make your iOS device management (and your life) easier.
