Move to iOS

Apple's first app on Android is a relatively simple one. All it does it help you migrate from your old Android device to your new iPhone. The app is useful once while transferring data like images, contacts, messages, bookmarks, and google accounts. Best to ignore the user reviews on this one as they have nothing to do with the quality of the actual app.

Silentium

Silentium is a new content blocker for iOS 9. It lets you block annoying ads, scripts, share buttons, cookie banners, and more, in Safari. This has the advantage of improving loading speed by 4x and save battery and data. Silentium can also block region specific ad networks and allows whitelisting, a feature many of the other content blockers lack, that allows you to enable ads on sites you want to support and don't have obnoxious advertising. There is also a low traffic mode, where you can disable images and block scripts from loading. As experimental features, Silentium also lets you remove cookie-law banners and block adult websites. Silentium is one of the most advanced content blocker available on iOS and well worth the premium over free ones.
