This Amazing App Transfers Music, Videos, and More to Your Phone Without iTunes

Our long nightmare is finally over.

If there’s one horrible thing about using an iPhone, it’s syncing it with iTunes. The world’s worst app™ has been the bane of my music-loving existence my entire life. Well, no longer.

WALTR 2 is designed to bypass iTunes altogether. You can automatically search and connect to your iOS devices, and transfer any music, video, PDF or ePUB file with a simple drag and drop. It comes loaded with clever tricks, like Smart Adaptive Conversion for 5x faster audio and video conversions, and content recognition that brings along metadata. Plus, WALTR 2 goes beyond iOS devices, supporting the entire lineup of Apple iPods—starting with the original iPod Classic, built in 2001. Let’s see iTunes do that without its needlessly labyrinthian interface and insane wait times.

Right now you can lifetime access to WALTR 2 for more than 50 percent off its regular price, down from $39.95 to just $19.
