Game Transfer

My favorite game, no longer available in the App Store, was deleted when my iPad crashed. Is there any way to transfer the game from an old iPod to my iPad without a cable and desktop?


iPad, iOS 10

You could try to use iCloud to backup the ipod and then set your ipad up from that backup

There can be some issues going from one sized device to another. Some apps are universal - meaning they scale for whatever screen they are on - but others are not.


The thing is that game may be gone because icloud and even if you used your computer, you’d need a copy of that game’s app locally since it’s gone from Apple’s servers. A cloud backup may not even work (won’t know for sure until you try, but just trying to set realistic expectations)
