Apple app store
I upgraded to a new iPhone on Friday and re-downloaded all the apps I had on my old one. There is an app that I have on my old iPhone which seems to no longer appear in the apple store.
How can I re-download this app that is no longer in the store? Can I get it from my iCloud storage? |

What's the app ?
If it's been pulled from the App Store then you're buggered. |

If you head over to the 'Updates' tab and click Purchased at the top it *may* be under there although by rights when you restored from an iCloud back up it should've carried over.

It should be in your iTunes backup, as BKM says.

Only if you did a full backup via iTunes, not if you just have an iCloud backup

Don't think so! You can, AFAIK, still backup Apps to a computer using iTunes. Doing this should enable the download of the app to a new phone.

However I was wrong!!! I just checked and is seems that, starting from IOS 9, iTunes can no longer extract apps!
I'll check in iTunes a bit later and report back. |

I think what's confusing is you don't "backup" apps when you sync iOS devices to iTunes.
You have to click File->Device->Transfer Purchases which will pull all purchases from the device to iTunes. This is because Apple expect you to have "auto download" for apps turned on in iTunes, and to run it up a couple of times a month. They also don't expect apps to be pulled. |

I click yes and the apps are transferred over before the iPhone sync/backs up to the PC. |
