This is the key feature. It is, in fact, the most common feature we see on all iPhone manager tools. So, there is nothing to explain it in details. By using iCareFone, you can easily transfer media contents between iPhone/iPad/iPod and PC/Mac. It includes photos, videos, music, voice memos, calendar, safari history bookmarks, contacts, messages, etc.

iTunes Backup & Restore

Unlike some other iPhone transfer software, TenorShare iCareFone offers true iTunes backup and restore features. As a result, Rather than taking backup of just media files, you are able to take a full backup and restore when needed. It makes it a very good iTunes alternative.

Also you should be happy to know that when you restore from backup, iCareFone offers selective restore. It means rather than restoring everything at once, you can select which one to restore. By this way, you get a lot flexibility and also can save your time.

Social App Transfer, Backup & Restore

This is an interesting feature I have found while reviewing iCareFone. Rather than providing you some basic features, TenorShare has included this fantastic feature. Now, You can easily transfer WhatsApp and line data between Android and iOS. It also offers WhatsApp and Line data backup. So, You can restore it when needed. Currently, Social app transfer and backup are supported only for these two popular apps. However, In the future, It may bring more social apps on the list.

Transfer Media Between Device and iTunes

It is another useful feature that TenorShare iCareFone offers. You can easily export iTunes media files to the device or from device to iTunes without any issue.

Photo & Video Manager

You can manage your photos and videos from PC or Mac using this software. It has a built-in photo and video manager. The photo manager is excellent. You can view, delete or add any photos by using it. Also, You can export all or specific photos to your computer.

iOS System Repair

Another excellent feature is iOS system repair. While using an iPhone, iPad or iPod, you may face various problems. Most of them very common but takes some efforts to repair. In this case, iCareFone can help. It can help you to troubleshoot and repair these iOS system errors easily.

Other Features

Besides these excellent features, TenorShare iCareFone has some other small useful functionalities. You will find them once you start using it. You can view messages, contacts from a backup, or in realtime from your iPhone directly in the PC/Mac. It has features to manage books, safari bookmarks. It also has a basic app manager. You can view the installed apps on your iOS device and uninstall them if you want.

Interface:

Now, Let’s know about the UI of TenorShare iCareFone. It has a very simple, clean and minimalist user interface. In fact, It is very easy to navigate between options and features. No one should face any difficulties to understand how to use this iOS manager.

The UI somehow looks modern. However, It is white and also has no dark mode. So, It may cause eye strain if you look at the UI in a dark room.

iCareFone Performance and In-Depth Review:

Performance is the key of a software. If a decent looking app can’t perform well, it doesn’t make sense. In this section of TenorShare iCareFone review, you will learn about its performance.

Personally, I got a premium license to test this software by myself. In fact, at first sight, I was not that much impressed. However, I used it for nearly a month to determine the performance. It is actually an excellent one. It performs very good. I found no bug. Everything worked fine. However, Sometimes, The photo manager remained empty after connecting my iPhone XS Max. But, When I clicked on the refresh button, everything went back normal within a couple of seconds. This software also feels very lite when you use it. I haven’t found any significant performance flaws in my test.

However, The social app data backup process could be a bit faster. I found no issues. But, The speed seems a bit slow. Except for this thing, everything was OK.

Cons:

After coming at this section of this iCareFone review, You already may have found some of the downsides of this iPhone manager. In my eyes, the main downside of this iTunes alternative is lack of Wireless transfer capability. You will always have to rely on a lightning cable if you want to manage your iPhone by using this software. Else, The price is a bit expensive compared to some other similar software. If you look at the minor things, you won’t find much except the UI. The interface could be a bit better. Maybe, A dark mode will make the UI decent.

Price:

The pricing of iCareFone starts from $35.95 per year for a single PC. But, For Mac, the same license costs you $55.95. If you go for a lifetime license for 1 Windows PC, it will cost $49.95 and the Mac version will cost $69.95. For your convenience, I have added the prices in the following table.

Operating System	1 Month	1 Year	Lifetime	Number of PC/Mac
Windows Version	$35.95	$35.95	$49.95	1
	–	$52.95	–	5
	–	$69.95	–	10
	–	$499	–	Unlimited
Mac OSX	$55.95	$55.95	$69.95	1
	–	$72.95	–	5
	–	$89.95	–	10
	–	$499	–	Unlimited

However, TechClassy audience can get any licenses at a flat $15% discount. For this, you will have to use the coupon “H89S-F5PA.” For example, this coupon will make the 1-year plan price for Windows reduced to $30.46. So, Don’t forget to use this coupon while making payment.

Verdict:

If you already have read this iCareFone review carefully, you may have made your decision. It has no doubt it is excellent software. Though it is lacking wireless transfer feature, you still can use it. Because It has features like iOS System Repair and Social App Data Transfer besides all major features. However, If you want my personal opinion, I would like to say, you can go for this iPhone manager if you need social app data transfer feature besides backup & restore as well as basic iPhone management features.

If budget is a problem and you just need basic media transfer feature, go for IOTransfer. Also, You also may have a look at iMazing and AnyTrans review. These are two of the best iOS manager tools.

However, TenorShare iCareFone is a good option indeed. If you already have been using this software, you can let us know your experience in the comment box.
