Appulo.us slow on iPhone? Try Appcake – a faster alternative to installous

Do you like this story?

Are you addicted to Appulous? Do you just love trying out cracked apps before making the final purchase decision off legit App store? If yes, you must have definitely noticed that offlate either Appulous is down or painfully slow.

Don’t you wish there was an alternative way to access cracked apps not just over the web but also over the iPhone instead of Installous?

We have found this gem called AppCake which gives an end to Appulous and Installous woes.
If you want to download the apps off the web i.e. alternative to appulo.us: Visit http://iphonecake.com/appcake/en/
(copy and paste the above url in your web browser)
If you want to download the apps directly on iPhone i.e. alternative to installous: Download and install Appcake from cydia
Here are the steps to download and install Appcake on your iPhone
1) Tap on Cydia. Note: Do not use Rock. For some reason Appcake doesn’t download via Rock.
2) Choose Manage tab on the bottom of the screen.

3) Select Sources.
4) On the top-right corner you will find edit button, select that and then tap add button. You will be asked to enter a url. Enter http://cydia.iphonecake.com and tap on add sources.
(Note: If the above source doesn’t work then try http://repo.beyouriphone.com/ and tap on add sources)

5) Cydia then updates your sources.
6) Once this is done. Tap on search at the bottom of cydia and in the search box look for AppCake.

7) Install AppCake.
8 ) Congrats you can now enjoy cracked apps right from your iPhone without relying on installous

Note: 1) Please make sure you choose endlessapps, appscene or other similar filehosting services which make the download link visible within the app. Some filehosting services like mediafire do not let you download from the iPhone.
2) Appcake works perfectly on my Jailbroken(via blackra1n) and unlocked(via blacksn0w) iPhone running on 3.1.2 firmware and 5.11.07 baseband.
