Apps don't transfer, they re-download from the App Store if they are still available.

As Limnos posted, the apps are re-downloaded automatically.

You WILL see the app icons on your screen; but they won’t yet be operable.

Don’t “panic”

Watch the screen for a while and you’ll see the “clock face” on each app as it downloads and configures.
