How to Transfer Voice Memos from iPhone 7/6S/6/5S to Mac

I am a long time Android user that switched to iPhone recently. Generally speaking, the overall user experience is great and I have a lot of fun with the new iPhone 6, especially for social networking and gaming. But one thing I am really disappointed is that the file transfer between iPhone and Mac is really annoying and time consuming because of iTunes, which can be easily done with Android phone via only an USB cable. I have recorded about 30+ voice memos about my little girl when she is learning to speak. I want to share the memos to my family numbers but it took me hours to figure out how to transfer voice memos from iPhone to my Mac so I can share them via Dropbox. Initially, I did this with iTunes but without any good luck. And I finally found out that iTunes was designed for transferring items from computer to iPhone not the other way around. You have to use third-party apps to get my concern fixed.

 

As we all know that iOS users can easily record and store any audio files by using Voice Memos app built-in iPhone. You can capture a great temporary thought, record meeting content, these voice memos maybe very important for your job, you don’t want to delete the momos and don’t keep it on your iPhone device as it takes up the space. You may come up with an idea that export voice memos from iPhone to Mac in cause it be damaged or mended. Here iPhone Manager will be your best choice.

You can easily use this app to transfer different content from iPhone to Mac in simple way, such as voice memos, media files, contacts, text messages and photos. All you have to do is just a few mouse clicks then hand the rest of work to the app, which works in background and takes care all of the dirty work involved. Unlike iTunes, this app is able to transfer files mutually between iPhone and computer. This program is the best iTunes alternative I have discovered.
