Installous was the first ever app from the jailbreak community that allowed us to download free iOS AppStore apps. Since those hazy days, a lot has changed. There are alternative applications, software, methods and websites. In this article I’ll highlight my favourite three.
1. vShare (previously App VV)
My favourite alternative. This app looks much sleeker than Installous 5, but it doesn’t stop there. It also features direct-link downloading so no waiting around on file host sites or stumbling across broken links and removed uploads.
Pros: Direct download links, categories, user/admin created collections, clean UI, fast download speeds, auto-install, shows when updates are available, only 5MB in size.
Cons: Primarily made in Chinese and not all translations have yet been made, loading images does sometimes take a while
To install vShare you will need Installous and Cydia. Follow this tutorial on instructions on how to download vShare. (click here)
2. AppCake
More popular than vShare, AppCake has been around for longer too. Weighing in at just over 3MB AppCake works on all devices running iOS 4 or above. I personally have nothing against AppCake; the devs seems to be very devoted and have brought several updates over the last few months. It seems to run a very similar UI to vShare, but all in English!
Pros: Primarily made for English-speaking users, categories, auto-install configuration, built-in browser so you can download and install .ipa files from your own links.
Cons: All downloads are file host mirrors, ad-supported
AppCake requires a jailbroken device running iOS 4 or above with Cydia. Follow this guide for instructions on how to install AppCake to your iDevice. (click here)
Unfortunately, those are the only very best alternatives to Installous for now. This post will be updated as more alternatives are released.
