By exploring MobiMover’s development and offerings, this article strives to assist you in making a well-informed choice.

My Overall Assessment of MobiMover

Since its first appearance in 2017, EaseUS MobiMover has constantly evolved, striving to satisfy the growing data transfer needs of iOS users. This software is not just a tool for transferring data between iOS devices and different platforms (including PC, Mac, and Android), but also a comprehensive data backup solution.

MobiMover History

In August 2017, EaseUS introduced MobiMover 1.0 for Windows users, a tool designed for easy data transfer between iPhones and PCs, as well as among iPhones. Although a decade had passed since the release of the first iPhone and mature iOS data management software like CopyTrans was available, MobiMover set itself apart by offering a free version that allowed users to transfer 10 data items per day at no cost, including contacts, notes, messages, calendar entries, voicemails, ringtones, photos, music, videos, and more.

In March 2018, MobiMover 3.0 was launched, extending its service to Mac users. This version mirrored the functionality of the Windows version, enabling users to transfer and manage iPhone data on Mac computers. Following this, in May, MobiMover 4.5 was released with a new online video download feature, allowing users to not only download online videos to their computers but also directly import them into their phones.

In the first half of 2020, EaseUS unveiled versions 5.1.1 to 5.1.6 of MobiMover, which included a feature to unlock iOS screen locks. However, this feature was later migrated to the newly launched MobiUnlock software.

During the same year, MobiMover expanded its functionality by adding backup and restore features, along with the ability for users to view backup data.

In 2021, MobiMover continued to improve by adding image and video conversion features. Users could now effortlessly convert HEIC format images to JPG format and video files to MP3 format. Up to this point, MobiMover has gradually evolved into a multi-functional iPhone data management software with a host of integrated features.
