Get paid apps for free in iOS9 without Jailbreak via KuaiYong

Hi Guys,

Outdated Post


Today, we are gonna learn how to get paid apps for free in an iOS device without jailbreak or use of PC with the help of this famous or I may say infamous app is called KuaiYong.

Why a post on Downloading Paid Apps for free?

TechGlobule by no means is supporting or will ever support Piracy. We are with all our might against Piracy.

And the only reason we are showcasing apps like KuaiYong or Tongbu is because they provide a way to users who are willing to pay for an app or game, but want to try it out beforehand, and before paying their hard-earned money. Many of the times if not all, after buying an app, it seems unworthy of the money spent.

Who is the developer?

KuaiYong means “Use Quickly” in Chinese. You can follow KuaiYong on Sina Weibo for usage updates and other news related to KuaiYong.

How does the app works?

KuaiYong acts as an alternative App Store, featuring almost all the apps on the original App Store. It (mis)uses the Developer certificates issued by Apple.

Apple issues Developer certificates to companies which want all of their employees to have a specific app. KuaiYong misuses this certificate and pretend that all its users are its employees. So you see, the apps you’ll install are genuine.

The only difference is that all the apps are free on KuaiYong.

More apps are available to download on KuaiYong as compared to Tongbu.

Will it support my device?

Yes, the app supports all iPhones and iPads, whether jail-broken or not. I have not tested it on an iPod, but I have a hunch it might work on it as well. It worked fine on iOS 7.x.x. and iOS 9.x.x. You will have to test yourself if you are using any other iOS version. Don’t worry, even if the test fails, the worst thing that can happen is that you will not be able to open the app after installing it, in such a case you can simply delete it. I personally tested it on an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2, now iOS 9.0.1) and iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.4, now iOS 9.2).

How to get it?

i) Open Safari in the iOS device. This only works on Safari.

ii) Open Kuaiyong. This link will redirect you appropriately according to your device and iOS version.

iii) You will land a site in Chinese language. Tap the red button visible on the bottom of the screen.

iv) A box will appear asking dinfo.wanmeiyueyu.com would like to install “@!#!@#!@#”. Tap on Install.
Here, @!# represents KuaiYong written in Chinese.

v) For iOS 9: Go to Settings > General > Profiles > Fujian Yongda Group Co. > Trust.
For iOS 8 or below: When opening the app, a message may occur asking you if you trust the app developer. Tap on Trust.

How to use it?

Follow these steps to correctly use the KuaiYong app.

  • Unfortunately the app is in Chinese.
  • But don’t panic. It is more easier to use than it seems.
  • Refrain using Apple ID in the KuaiYong app.
  • On launching the app, a pop up might appear asking if you want to become a life-time member. Tap the left button which means Cancel. Because lifetime members have to install KuaiYong for PC, which is not only tedious but can be potentially dangerous as well.
  • No need to configure its settings, the default settings are well enough.
  • You will see a magnifying glass on the top right corner(iPad) or in middle bottom (iPhone) tap on it to reveal Search.
  • Search for any app, let’s say Need For Speed.
  • You will find a list of apps with their icons to their left (iPad) or right (iPhone). Tap the “circle with arrow inside” button to download that app.

After downloading any app –

  • You can see Downloads by tapping the “circle with arrow inside” button on top right side corner (iPad) or right of magnifying glass (iPhone).
  • The first screen shows currently downloading apps. Tap on “Downloaded” to go to second screen. See screenshots to understand how Downloaded or Downloading looks in Chinese.
  • The second one shows downloaded apps. Tap on “Downloading” to go to first screen.
  • You can tap on any downloaded app to reveal 2 options, the blue option is for installing that game, and the red option is to delete that downloaded file after installing it.
  • For iOS 9: Go to Settings > General > Profiles > ‘something’ Group Co. > Trust.
    For iOS 8 or below: When opening the app, a message may occur asking you if you trust the app developer. Tap on Trust.

Note for Jailbroken users

Jailbroken users can also use the same way to download KuaiYong.

Taig Jailbreak Tool (iOS 8.4)

Hi Guys,

Today, we are gonna discuss about the recently updated TaiG JailBreak Tool v2.4.1 which can jailbreak devices running iOS devices upto iOS 8.4. You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About > Version before jailbreaking.

If you want to know What is Jailbreaking. Go to this article, it’ll explain you all about it.

What is TaiG JailBreak Tool?

A jailbreak tool named TaiG is released by the TaiG Team and is frequently updated to keep jailbreaking latest iOS version.
TaiG v1.2.1. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.2. Read more.
TaiG v1.3. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.2 Beta 2. Read more.
TaiG v2.4.1. This is the most anticipated update of TaiG, because as the jailbreak tool for iOS 8.2 Beta 2 came before a tool for iOS 8.4, many people believed iOS 8.4 to be un-jailbreakable. But nonetheless, Jailbreak community came to rescue as always, this time updating TaiG v2.1.2 to TaiG v2.4.1. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.4. Read more by scrolling below.

Who are the TaiG Team?

Team TaiG first launched their jailbreak tool on 29 November 2014 which could jailbreak iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.2. Not much is known about this group of Jailbreakers, except that they are Chinese Developers or Hackers. We can say that confidently because both their site is in Chinese language . In early 2015, they updated and revised their existing jailbreak techniques to further develop the tool to make it able to jailbreak iOS 8.2 Beta 2.

And here they come again with further updating TaiG tool to v2.1.2, which can now successfully jailbreak iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.4.

How to get it?

To use the TaiG JailBreak Tool to jailbreak your iOS device, first you need to install Taig on your PC, which is easily available to download via the following link of TaiG.com. Download it in your Windows PC. Here’s the link – drive.google.com/installer/TaiGJBreak_EN_2.4.10.zip

How to use it?

Preparation –

i) After downloading the zipped file, unzip it in your PC.
ii) Install iTunes, if not installed already via link 32 bit OR 64 bit.
iii) Backup your device using iTunes (or iCloud) before using Taig. If something breaks, you’ll always be able to recover your data. (Personally I prefer to reset my iPhone and not making a full backup, that’s too slow. iCloud is still a better option regarding speed).
iv) Those who use backup passwords in iTunes must disable them for now. After doing so, iTunes makes a brand new backup. Please wait for that backup to complete before proceeding! Feel free to re-enable your backup password after jailbreaking.
v) Disable the lock pass-code of your iOS device before using TaiG via Settings > General > Pass-code Lock.
vi) Disable Find my iPhone (Settings > Privacy > Location Services) and enable AirPlane Mode via Settings.
vii) Make sure to have at least 80% battery in your iDevice, before jailbreaking.

JailBreaking –

viii) Launch iTunes, plug-in your device, once iTunes identifies your device, Launch Taig and kill iTunes via Windows Task Manager.
ix) Keep the Cydia option checked. Make sure to uncheck the second option of 3K assistant or something like that.
x) Click the button of “Start” in the bottom part of Taig window. Just sit back and see its progress.
xi) Avoid using your device or iTunes related tasks until the process is complete. You can just enjoy a brief break from the computer to stretch your legs.
xii) {Optional step} If the process gets stuck somewhere, it’s safe to restart the program, reboot the device (by holding the Power and Home button simultaneously until the Apple Logo appears), and restart the process, with WiFi off.
xiii) Once the process is done, you will find the “Cydia” app on your home screen which is your AppStore for JailBroken devices.
xiv) You can also set a pass code and enable Find my iPhone. Do disable the Airplane mode.
xv) Now enjoy your jailbroken device.

Precautions –

xvi) If you try to update your device’s iOS version through the phone itself (i.e. OTA Updates), it will un – jailbreak your device. Because in higher versions of iOS, often the security holes are patched. These security holes are used to exploit and root the phone which are present in earlier version of iOS.
xvii) But you can again jailbreak the newer version of iOS too.

TaiG’s Gratitude

“This is TaiG’s third time to release a jailbreak tool. For the last two releases, we received great attention from jailbreak users and technology media worldwide, and we want to say thank you.

An untethered jailbreak takes not only a slice of fortune but an ascetic perseverance. XN, as an exploit developer of TaiG Jailbreak team, is in fact lonely, of very few words and a socially challenged person. Even so, there is still one of his rare times to tell us: he wants to let his brain stop thinking.

The most exciting part in jailbreak development is the moment to see Jailbreak Succeeded. It is the recognition and support of our users that drive us to keep moving forward. At this moment, no word can express the appreciation, and no word has no vulnerabilities. XN chooses to dedicate his enthusiasm and energy to coding and programming.

Thanks for Apple for the greatest product of this era. Thanks for all the jailbreak developers to make the world even better.”

– TaiG Jailbreak Team, 23rd June, 2015

Telegram Messenger: What is it?

Hi Guys,

Today we are discussing about the Telegram Messenger, an instant message carrier brought to you by Pavel Durov, who also brought VK.

What is Telegram?

Telegram is an instant messaging system mainly focussed on privacy and multi-platform availability. Telegram clients exist for both mobile (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) and desktop systems (Windows, OS X, Linux).

Telegram is run by a German nonprofit organization backed by entrepreneur and philanthropist Pavel Durov. Its client code is open-source software, while its server-side code is currently proprietary.

In short, Telegram is super fast, simple and way more secure than any of the messaging apps out there.

Features –

  • Connect from most remote locations with even the connections.
  • Coordinate groups of up to 20,000 members.
  • Synchronize your chats across all your devices.
  • Send documents of any type and size.
  • Encrypt personal & secret messages.
  • Destruct your messages with a timer.
  • Store your media in the cloud.
  • Build your own tools and bots on their API.

Why use Telegram when we have Whatsapp?

You might be thinking that why should one even bother about any other messaging app when one can use WhatsApp, following is the list of differences which make Telegram better than any other messaging app out there including WhatsApp.

  • It is cloud-based, which lets you access your messages from multiple devices.
  • It is open source.
  • It is secure. Not only the messages are encrypted but Telegram also offers Secret chat, in which after a set interval of time, the messages are deleted from all the devices.
  • It is distributed. Its servers are spread worldwide to enhance speed and security.
  • It enables you to share unlimited high-resolution photos, videos, and files of any type up to sizes of 1.5 GB.
  • It has Bots. For e.g. Add @ImageBot in your contacts, whenever you message it something like /get Ferrari, it would reply with an image of Ferrari. Telegram supports many different kinds of bots for different tasks. You can even make a bot for yourself if you want to.
  • It supports @replies, mentions and #hashtags. No this is nothing complex. It makes Group Chatting easier. For e.g., if I want to reply to person A in a group of 100 people. I can type @A followed by my message, and only A will be notified.
  • It is free and will stay free forever.

About the Developers

You can follow Telegram on Twitter, for ongoing news about it. Or check out its FAQ section.

Telegram is supported by Pavel and Nikolai Durov.

Pavel Durov is known as the Mark Zuckerberg of Russia because his VK userbase outnumbered Facebook users in own own country that is Russia. Pavel supports Telegram financially and ideologically, while Nikolai’s input is technological. To make Telegram possible, Nikolai developed a unique custom data protocol, which is open, secure and optimized for work with multiple data-centres. As a result, Telegram combines security, reliability and speed on any network.

Supported Platforms with Download links

Telegram is available on a number of different platforms and Operating Systems as listed below.

Type in any language via Google Handwriting Input (Android)

Hi Guys,

Today we found this great app known as Google Handwriting Input, which lets you type (or write) in any language, however regional or international.

What is Google Handwriting Input?

A couple of months ago, Google launched a new App, Google Handwriting Input.

‘Google Handwriting Input’ let users to write or scribble texts on the screen and converts it to text. Basically you can write instead of typing in your favourite language however regional or international it may be. It supports both printed and cursive writing input with or without any stylus. The best part it works offline too.

Why should one use this?

There are a lot of reasons, you may like this app, some of which are listed below –

  • It supports over 80 different languages in about 20 different scripts.
  • Emoji Support. It lets you draw any emoji, now no more searching for the perfect emoji.
  • Supports cursive writing too.
  • Works with or without stylus.
  • Works online as well as offline.
  • Typing text on a touchscreen is considered inconvenient by many.
  • If you just want to experience a new way to type on your phone.
  • Voice input is, not always available; neither it is available for regional dialects & languages.
  • It can help you improve your handwriting. 😉 I’m serious.
  • No more Auto-correct fails.

App Requirements

This app requires around 12MB of downloading for itself and additional download for the language you want to install. For e.g. downloading Hindi language required about 7.5MB. Other languages may require lower or higher data.

It is currently available for Android users only. It will work with Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above.

How to get and use this app?

Initial Setup –

  • You can download this app from the following link of Google Play Store.
  • Install the app. After installation launch the app.
  • You will see a pop-up of Google Privacy Policy. Tap OK to dismiss it.
  • Select ‘1 Enable Google Handwriting Input‘, it will redirect you to Language & input Settings. Enable Google Handwriting Input. A pop-up will appear to confirm enabling. Tap OK.
  • Select ‘3 Select Google Handwriting Input‘, a list of installed keyboards will appear. Select Google Handwriting Input.
  • Select ‘Configure languages‘, disable ‘Use system language‘, and select the languages you want to use among 82 different languages. I selected ‘Hindi‘. Go back.
  • Select ‘2 Download languages: xy.z MB‘, it will download your selected languages.

Optional steps –

  • You may enable ‘Help improve Google Handwriting Input‘ if you want to help Google by regularly uploading your usage statistics. I have disabled it to save my internet pack.
  • You can choose between 2 themes available for the keyboard, by tapping the ‘Dots on top right corner’ > Settings> Theme.
  • Adjust the recognition speed to match your writing speed in Settings > Auto Selection.
  • You can disable the Cloud button completely in Settings.

Using the App –

  • Globe button on the left of Space bar is used to toggle between Google Handwriting Input and any other installed Keyboard.
  • Cloud button is used to toggle between Online & Offline mode. Online mode is more accurate in handwriting recognition but requires internet.
  • Space bar. Holding the space bar toggles between different languages installed on device.
  • Backspace is used to delete the latest typed word.
  • Enter key is used to enter. It changes according to Go sometimes, like while in Google Search.

How does it work?

Let me be straight, I don’t know what those technologies mentioned in the next paragraph mean. But they surely make the app extra ordinarily accurate in identifying your handwriting and converting it to typed text.

By using techniques based on large-scale language modeling, robust multi-language OCR, and incorporating large-scale neural-networks and approximate nearest neighbor search for character classification, Google Handwriting Input supports languages that can be challenging to type on a virtual keyboard. For e.g. keyboards for ideographic languages (such as Chinese) are often based on a popular dialect of the language, but if a user isn’t familiar with that particular dialect, they may be hard to use.

Additionally, keyboards for complex vibrant scripts (of many South Asian languages) are less standardized and may be unfamiliar. Even for languages where virtual keyboards are more widely used (like English or Spanish), some users find handwriting to be more intuitive, faster, and generally more comfortable.

List of Supported Languages

English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Catalan, Cebuano, Chinese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian, Hindi, Hmong, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kannada, Khmer, Korean, Kurdish, Kyrgyz, Lao, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Māori, Marathi, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Nyanja, Odia, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Somalian, Spanish, Sudanese, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Xhosa, Zulu are the languages supported by Google Handwriting Input v1.1.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any further queries about the app, you can view the FAQ section of official website of this app.

Personal Experience

I, being an avid Sherlock Holmes fan, just loved this game, after watching the last episode of the Series which is, “His Last Vow“, I became a highly functioning sociopath with a dull routine (which means I was bored). Everything including my life started to seem slow and dull. Learning some tricks from Sherlock, I could easily guess like what my friends had for their breakfast but that didn’t gave me a purpose, I was just left with an option to wait for the Special episode which will come on Christmas, this year.

Then, I came across this very particular app, this is the best game of Sherlock ever made on a mobile device.

In the game, you play the role of a nameless member of Sherlock’s homeless network, newly inducted and just starting out on initially menial tasks set by the detective. You journey around London by foot, tube or taxi, the latter two options giving the first of the numerous mini-games that make up the structure of the app. The tube mini-game in particular is enjoyably challenging, I’m not giving any spoilers about the puzzle.

It not only exercises our brain with short games, like visual observation skills, taxi puzzles, or completing tubes, audio decryption or images, a bit of code breaking, but also every clue we find has some significance, and at the end, comes the most difficult part, Sherlock’s Mind Palace. The game also features some TV Trivia from the Sherlock series.

Mind Palace is a memorization technique which allows a person to remember every detail or fact he/she ever came across. In the Mind Palace, we have to use our own mind about which of the clues have some relationship and make sense. There is no hint. This is the best part of the game for me. If you are true fan, you will find the relation between clues in a couple of attempts, Or if you are Sherlock Holmes, you will complete the case in the first attempt only.

I would recommend this game to any fan of Sherlock Holmes, either his books or the Sherlock Series. Even those who haven’t heard of Sherlock Holmes, (which is a an unlikely scenario) should try this Detective game and exercise their mental skills and abilities.
