No, because Android apps are completely incompatible with iOS. Many developers make similar apps for Android and iPhones, but they are completely different in terms of the code and even their programming language. You can search the App Store for apps by name. In some cases the data from Android can be used on an iPhone, but not always. A particular example is WhatsApp; while both Android and iPhone are supported by WhatsApp, there is no way to transfer threads from one to the other.
