Smart devices, whether iPhone or iPad, and others have become a practical alternative to many personal computer functions. Many of the things that we needed a computer to do became available in our device. But the strange and perhaps funny thing is that the smart device, although it greatly eliminates you from your computer, but it itself can not do without it completely. There are a lot of things that you need a computer to do on your machine. Most users think that Apple's iTunes is the only program that does this. But there are many other great applications, some of which we review in the article.

In the following lines, we will review some of the most famous of these applications, so that this article serves as a reference for accessing external programs (used on the computer) and a compilation of the programs that have been mentioned on our website over the past years. At the end of the article, we will mention some examples of paid programs as well.
ITools program

One of the most popular applications that is a good alternative to iTunes, we have devoted two previous articles to it (part One، part two) To explain its advantages. In the recent update to support iOS 7, it came in a completely new form, but unfortunately, half of the features have been deleted, such as the ability to record video, control the desktop, and also access to messages. The application still retains the basic features such as the ability to install an application without the need for iTunes or “authorized” computer. You can transfer books or audio files from the phone to the computer (iTunes limits the transfer from computer to device and not vice versa). You can use your device as storage capacity and other features that can be detailed in the previous two articles part One، part two. (Features are annotated, but the program has only been redesigned and made easier)
IFunbox app

The application is very similar to iTools, although it is older in terms of release date, and it also performs the same features without the differences. Recently it released a trial version for Windows that includes unique advantages such as the ability to download several applications at the same time on your device (the previous version supports one application at a time), it also added the ability to monitor the prices of specific applications and download them if they become free, update applications when the computer is not used, etc. New features in the "beta" version of Windows. The stable version is similar to iTools in features.

Paid apps:
Increase the device space: a program Phoneclean We devoted an entire article (trans this link) to talk about it and its features. It was once free (now it's $20), and its function is simple: increasing the free space on your device, allowing you to download more apps. The app, of course, doesn't increase storage capacity—it won't work, and you'll be surprised to find that your phone now has 32GB instead of 16GB. But it does increase free space by forcing the system to delete useless cache files. While browsing the internet and using various apps, you'll find the free space on your device decreasing, even though you haven't downloaded any new apps. This decrease is due to cache files. The iOS system automatically deletes this cache if it finds that there's no free space on the device (it's zero). But let's say, for example, your device has 500MB of cache files and 200MB of free space. Here, the system won't bother deleting these files, so if you go to download a 300MB app, you'll find a message stating that the space is insufficient, despite the presence of wasted space in the form of cache. This app will delete these files. See our previous article via this link to learn more. The program was previously free and is now paid for $20.

Service programs: They are similar applications to iTools and iFunBox and perform the same advantages of free applications in addition to other advantages such as reading messages and extracting them in a PDF file, controlling the list of names, notes and appointments, reading the backup copies in iTunes and the ability to extract any number, name or message from them and many more advantages Other. The most famous of these programs is iExplorer وDiskaid وphoneview. Some of these programs are priced at $ 35.
Screen capture: Sometimes you want to record a video of the screen of your device, such as explaining an application, or for any other reason, there are some programs that offer this, but they are also not free, such as Reflector Which enables you to record videos with Airplay without jailbreak.
last word:
There are dozens of applications on the market and they have great advantages that iTunes users wish, so why wouldn't Apple think of adding them? !!! Why pay $ 30 to buy an application that enables you to save the messages on your device or to record the screen of the device? Why was Apple not able to delete the cache files? !!! In general, the aforementioned applications are the best in the market, and we recommend that you download any of the free programs and try them so that you get the most out of your device.
