Best Alternatives For Installous
Funbox
We have already covered i-Funbox, it is among the ideal Installous alternatives you may easily get. Certainly one of the finest point about i-Funbox is the fact that although it seem as a desktop application, it is simple and exciting to use. There’s not very much of learning curve to install IPA files that can be either search straight from the application or the one that has been already downloaded from elsewhere.
vShare
vShare was earlier known as App VV and it uses the same resource as the Installous is using. In the real sense, it is exactly the same as Installous with only little changes in interface that some users would favor over Installous. The vShare needs that you should download the AppSync on Cydia – this indicates you will need to install the “hackulo.us” repo. One excellent point about the vShare is that the internet community and developers are as specialized as the Installous.
To Install:
- Add http://repocydia.com to the repo
- search for App VV or vShare
- download and reboot the device
- vShare will be on the springboard
IPA Search
When we visit the IPA Search from our own iPhone, we can look for for the legitimate IPA files from “app.su” server. This special Installous alternative is not all that common but it is really flexible and very good in bringing up the proper and best results. If you are hunting to download the IPA files straight from your own iPhone or by other iOS devices, the IPA Search could get that for you.
IPA Installer Console
This does not normally happen but to grab this when it lasts. There’s a Cydia tweak known as “IPA Installer Console” in BigBoss repo which allows you to install the IPA files and even edit the “iTunesMetadata.plist” file to get around the update checks. The usually default repos never let such apps to be hosted, and surely it seems very strange but “IPA Installer Console” is very effective. By using it, you can easily install the IPA files that you have normally downloaded from different sources. This tweak will also allow you to run the apps on such device which is not officially supported by the app.
AppCake
AppCake is one thing that we can think about. It is among the best Installous alternatives so far, that has received so much popularity. AppCake is come from iphonecake Cydia repo and that is very popular also. Basically what makes the AppCake so much popular as the Installous is the truth that the use is very much same to Installous so certainly the users of the Installous would find the AppCake comfortable.
