Q: Restore just one Corrupted App from iTunes Backup

I have an updated APP that may be bad and would like to restore just that App from an iTunes backup. Is that possible and if so, what is the process?

Thank you. Best regards, R.J. Wilson

    Sync the app from iTunes.  You may have to delete the app on the device first otherwise iTunes may think it is already there.  If this is a current app you can also re-download it directly from the iTunes Store with your device through iCloud.

    Thank you Limnos. What if the app has a database like Photos? I'm unsure of the location or status of the data and how to restore just that? Thank you. Best regards, R.J. Wilson
