Android Phone to iPhone

I’d just recently switched from an Android Phone (Galaxy S5) to an iPhone (iPhone 6s). I purchased 1Password on the Apple App Store and for my Android Phone. How do I move the purchased 1Password App to my iPhone 6s?

    @Latissimus: You cannot move Android apps or Google Play store purchases to iOS or the App Store. These are totally separate ecosystems run by competing companies. You can use Dropbox Sync to transfer your 1Password data between the two, but the Pro Features in 1Password for iOS are a completely separate from the Premium Features in 1Password for Android. However, you can use 1Password for iOS for free if you don't want the Pro upgrade. I hope this helps! :)

    I looked at the version of my 1Password and it states that it is version 5.3
    I purchased for $49.99. From your explanation I apparently have the pro version (seeing that the free version has no cost associated with it). The title in my App Store Purchases states, “1Password - Password Manager and Secure Wallet Support” and it was last updated Apr 06, 2015. Is my current 1Password the Pro upgrade? If so, how do I view? This is on my MacBook Pro and iMac. Do I still need to purchase another program for my new iPhone 6s?

    That $49.99 price applies to the version for Mac, not iOS. I think there is some sort of confusion here about which versions are in play. The current version for iOS, if you are running iOS 9, is 1Password 6.0.1. And it is free to download, but has a $9.99 price for the in-app purchase to activate the more advanced Pro features.

    Apple makes this more complicated than it needs to be by having two app stores. One is run through iTunes on desktops and applies to iOS applications. If you are on the iOS device, you find this store by running the built-in App Store application. Applications for macs are handled by the Mac App Store, which you reach bu using the built-in App Store application on your Mac desktop.

    Maybe some of this will help sort out exactly what the issues are. Does this help?

    @Latissimus: Indeed, while there is a free trial of 1Password for Mac, there is no outright 'freemium' version, and therefore no 'Pro' purchase. You simply pay for the license if you want to continue using it.

    1Password for iOS, on the other hand, is a free app (no trial, no expiration) which has an in-app purchase for the Pro upgrade, if you're interested in those features.

    But regardless of these differences, there is one commonality across all platforms: 1Password is sold on a per-platform basis, so 1Password for Android is a separate purchase from the iOS version, etc. Apps from one platform simply won't run on another, and in most cases they cannot be sold in the same store even. Also, this allows people to purchase only the versions they'll actually use (for instance, if you don't have a PC you'll have no use for that version).

    In regard to App Store purchases, on the receipt it should state "Mac app", for example...and of course the Mac version is more expensive than the iOS in-app purchase.

    I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion, but be sure to let me know if you have questions about any of this! :)
