Can you transfer compatible Android apps from iPhone to Android?

[Whitney]

I had my iPhone 4S iOS 7 for 2 years, and I am switching to the Samsung Galaxy S4. I have iPhone apps that I loved playing during those 2 years, but I am afraid and hesitant to lose my apps' datas and progresses once I get the Galaxy. I will give my iPhone to someone, so I won't be able to be on my iPhone anymore… Don't worry, the iPhone apps that I was talking about are compatible with Android.

The question is: Can I transfer iPhone apps to Android, or I do I have to re-download the apps and play them from the start?

You have to re download, however, if you had an account on the game with username and password, your progress is recorded and transferable.

Nope, you'll have to re-download and start over.

My suggestion? Buy an iPod Touch and just play them on that. Just buy like the 4th gen or something.

Oh, but the exception is if it links to some sort of account system (like Facebook). So games like Candy Crush and whatnot, WOULD transfer.
