I want to transfer my app "My Lyric Book" to a new similar iPad do I have to download the app in the

I am replacing my iPad with almost the exact same model. I use it in live performance and rehearsal. I am most interested to find out if the "My lyric book" app will show up in the new iPad when l reload the iCloud backup data and will the lyrics all be there or will I need to download the app into the new iPad and just transfer the lyric data directly? Thanks



iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Hi MakeMusicMan,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. Sounds like you would like to restore data from an app you are using on an old iPad onto your new iPad, do we have that right? Unless the app has their own in-app back up option, the data should back up to iCloud if you have it set to. You'll need to go on the old iPad, go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud and make sure iCloud is turned on for that specific app. Once done, you can create a back up following the steps here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.


Then, restore your backup to your new iPad: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup.


Hope that helps!
