We’ve tested IOTransfer 3: an alternative program to iTunes to transfer files between iOS and PC, also as an all-in-one iOS data management tool, a deep junk file cleaner and an unblocked video downloader. Besides, it often built-in with several useful tools to bring users a wide range of benefits.

Preliminary Analysis

IOTransfer 3 is a file transfer and management tool for iOS developed by IOTransfer Studio, a company that has more than ten years of experience in solving data, backup and file transfer problems.

The program has multiple languages support (up to 20 languages) and is available in two versions:

  • Trial: free limited version that allows access to all functions for the first 7 days.
  • Pro: full version available for annual license.

The software is easy to install and the first time you start searching for Apple drivers. If the .exe version of iTunes is already installed, everything will already be ready to start using the program otherwise it will be installed automatically. For those who have installed iTunes from the Microsoft Store, they will need to uninstall for reasons of incompatibility.

Technical Test

The technical test of IOTransfer 3 was performed with the Pro version of the software, using an iPad Air with iOS 12 and a Windows 10 April Update PC. The test was done by transferring some files from iOS to the PC and vice versa, and downloading and converting some videos from YouTube.
