Get paid apps for free in iOS 10 without Jailbreak via vShare

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year to all of my readers and friends out there, yeah, I know I haven’t been very punctual for a while now, but to compensate for that, here’s a belated Christmas present, in form of free apps.

Today, we will get some paid apps for free in any iOS device without jailbreaking it with the help of this app called vShare and a Windows PC/Laptop.

Happy Christmas

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 these is because they provide a way for 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.

How does it work?

vShare Helper Installer

vShare acts as an alternative to App Store, featuring all the apps on the original App Store and more. 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. vShare uses 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.

Extra Benefits

  • You can install apps which are not compatible to your device.
    I played Assassin Creeds Infinity on an iPad 2, not iPad Air 2, just iPad 2.
  • You can install apps not available in your country’s app store.
  • You can install apps which are no longer supported by the App Store, or discontinued.
    I played FIFA 14 as well, because it played more smoothly on an old iPad 2.
  • You can install apps like Movie Box or other jailbroken Cydia Apps.
    Ooh yes!! 😉

Will it support my device?

Yes, the app supports all iPhones, iPads etc. whether jail-broken or not. I have not tested it on an iPod yet.

The app worked absolutely fine on my iPad 2 (iOS 9.2.1). I haven’t tested in any other device.

Its website vshare.com says that it will work on any iOS from iOS 7.x.x to iOS 10.x.x. Tell us in the comments, how it worked out for you.

How to get it?

You can just follow the screenshots steps, down below, or you can read the steps, 🙂

  1. Open a Windows PC/Laptop, go to vShare.com and download vShare for PC using the Download button.
  2. Once downloaded, open the file to install it.

  4. Choose one key installation button, in vShare Helper installation.
  5. After it is installed, click on Try it Now.
  6. Click the X button to dismiss paid features.
  7. If any Apple Driver is missing, you will get this Fail screen, just use the Download button.
  8. vShare will reboot automatically, and then connect your iOS Device.
    For e.g. an old iPad 2 in my case.
  9. A dialogue box will appear scanning Apple Drivers, on your Laptop, ignore it. But tap on Trust on your iOS Device.
  10. Click on Install vShare.
  11. You will find vShare install in your iOS Device in a couple of moments.

How to use it?

Beginning –

  1. Open the app, skip the advertised apps to prevent installing them.

  3. Tap on Get button. It might shoot an advertisement at you, and you will land in original App Store. Go back to vShare.

Downloading –

  1. You can check current downloads by tapping the small downloads button in the right top most corner. Or you can just wait for it to ask for installing it. Tap on Install.
  2. Well, try to keep vShare in the foreground till installation is complete.

    2. If you can;t run the app,
      Go to Settings > General > Profiles > ‘something’ Group Co. > Trust. Then run the app and enjoy.

Top 10 WhatsApp Tricks for everyone

Hi Guys,

Today we are discussing some tips and tricks for using WhatsApp. We’ve lined up some interesting tricks and tweaks that will improve your user experience.

What is WhatsApp?

I’m summarizing this in as fewer lines as possible, just for the sake of newbies.

WhatsApp is an instant messaging app for smartphones. In January 2015, WhatsApp was the most globally popular messaging app with more than 600 million active users. In September 2015 the user base has grown up to 900 million.
WhatsApp Inc., based in Mountain View, California, was acquired by Facebook on February 19, 2014, for approximately US$16 billion.

For most of us, WhatsApp has become the default messaging app, because everyone’s on it, and it’s on nearly every platform. The app has made itself indispensable by adding a browser version and voice calling to its platform.

Tip & Tricks

The following tips and tricks might be available on more platforms, but for the sake of convenience of writing, I’m giving the steps of Android devices and iPhones only. Anyone using a different platform can ask for steps in the comment section below.

  • Sharing Locations and Contacts

Along with images, videos and music, users can share locations. This might be their current location or any other interesting place around you. Users can also share contacts.

Tap on the Send location in the attachment pane to send your current location or explore interesting hotspots around you. The map is a mash-up of FourSquare check-ins of places around you. You’ll find everything from local tech start-ups to restaurants, marked as blue dots. You can share contacts by choosing Share contact.

  • Backup Messages on Cloud

Users can back up their messages and media in the cloud. In case of changing the device, or reinstalling WhatsApp, you’ll no longer lose your messages.

Android users can make backups on Google Drive by Menu > Settings > Chats and calls > Chat backup > Google Drive.
iPhone users can make backups in iCloud by Settings > Chats and Calls > Chat Backup > Back Up Now.

  • Checking Read Status

Users can check the “read status” of individual messages as well as group messages.

Android users can select their message and press the i button above to check the “read status”.
iPhone users can press and hold on to their messages and then tap on Info to check the “read status”.

  • Send Public Messages Privately

This is known as Broadcasting Message. This feature is equivalent to BCCing an e-mail. That is your message will be sent to a group, but each group member will receive the message personally; in a personal chat.

Android users can broadcast a message from Menu < New broadcast. Add group members. Then send your message.
iPhone users can broadcast a message from Chats < Broadcast Lists < New list. Add group members, then send you a message.

  • WhatsApp Status

It’s not a trick not an important feature but a cool one though. Many people seem to ignore this feature.
One can also have a status of a max. of 138 characters along with their WhatsApp profile picture.
You can set a message (like an inspirational message) that others can read even when you are offline, or you can select from the default options present in the app.
Android users can change their status from Menu > Status.
iPhone users can change their status from Settings > Profile > Status.

  • Saving Mobile Data

One can save a lot of mobile data by disabling automatic media download.

Android users can disable automatic downloading from Menu > Settings > Chats and calls > Media auto-download > While using mobile data. Remove all the ticks.
iPhone users can disable automatic downloading from Setting > Chat and Calls > Media Auto-Download. Select Wi-Fi for Images, Audio and Videos as well.

Another method to save data is by lowering data usage used in a WhatsApp call.

Android user can do so from Menu > Settings > Chats and calls > Low data usage. Select it.
iPhone users can do so from Settings > Chats and Calls > Low Data Usage. Switch it on.

  • WhatsApp Call

Yes, WhatsApp didn’t just make SMSing obsolete but is trying to make cellular Calling obsolete as well.

Both Android and iPhone users can call a contact by tapping the phone button on the side of their profile picture.

  • WhatsApp Web

     

If you are tired of touchscreens or just want to continue your chats from a laptop or PC. You can do so by WhatsApp Web. On your laptop/PC browser, go to web.whatsapp.com.

Android device users go to Menu > WhatsApp Web. Follow the steps on your phone.
(Only iOS 8.1+) iPhone users head to Settings > WhatsApp Web. Follow the on-screen steps.

Read more about another app, called Telegram – techglobule.com/telegram-messenger

  • WhatsApp Walkie Talkie

That’s not an official feature but a trick. If you are tired of typing. You can just use it as a walkie-talkie. That is hold the little mic while you speak, and leave it to send. To cancel the voice message, you can slide to the left while holding the mic.

Both Android and iPhone users will find the mic over the keyboard on the chat screen.

  • Tell us something we missed in the comments and we will include it here.

That’s all folks.

Share files from Android to iOS to Windows: SHAREit

Hi Guys,

Today, we are going to discuss about an easy & wireless way to share files among smartphones, tablets and personal computers running different operating systems, through an app initially made by Lenovo known as SHAREit.

What is SHAREit?

SHAREit is the fastest file transferring cross-platform application from Lenovo Pvt. Ltd. that allows you to share photos, music, videos, apps (only in Android) or virtually any file regardless of size and type without the use of internet or wires. Lenovo’s SHAREit wirelessly transfers files & data rapidly between devices – either with friends, or to take your personal content on the go.

Features –

  • It is about 40x faster than Bluetooth.
  • Eliminates the use of Cables, or BlueTooth.
  • There are virtually no limits on the size or type of the file to be shared.
  • Can share any kind of file, from pictures to apps in any format.
  • Did I mention it is free?
  • It is cross-platform & lets you share files between iOS, Android, or Windows Devices, which are the most commonly used operating systems out there.

How does it work?

SHAREit uses the WiFi Direct sharing technology, whereas other apps (mostly) use BlueTooth or conventional Wifi network (or sometimes Internet) which is present nearby.

What is WiFi Direct?

Remember the way you shared your internet data through a personal hotspot, in which your device created a WiFi hotspot and let you share your cellular data (2G, 3G or 4G internet) in the form of WiFi to nearby devices.

Now, WiFi Direct is a technology which allows your device to create such a WiFi hotspot but without the use of the internet, intended with a purpose of sharing files over the network. Thus, you can easily connect with each other without requiring any cables, or the internet; and share files with typical WiFi speeds.

My device doesn’t support WiFi Direct. But still, transfers are Fast. How?

It lets you share files with typical WiFi speeds which can be 20MB/s or even higher in some cases.

For devices, without WiFi Direct, it simply Turns on the Personal Hotspot and does its magic in sharing files hyperfast.

App Requirements

This app requires only about 12.1MB (on average) for storage purpose. It is currently available for Android smartphones, iOS Devices, Windows Phone, and blackberry phones. It also supports Windows Desktop currently and is planning to extend its functioning to the Mac OS.

Supported devices with download link

  • Android Compatibility

It will work with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and above.
It needs around 6.5MB of storage space.
Download from this Play Store link.

  • iOS Compatibility

It will work with iOS 8 or more.
It needs around 29.6MB of space.
Download from this link of App Store for iPhones and iPads.

  • Windows Compatibility

It needs 3.09MB on Mobile devices and 9.2MB for Desktop Devices.
Download from this link of Windows Store for Windows Mobile.
OR from this link of uSHAREit.com for Windows Desktop.

  • Mac Compatibility

It needs around 4.6MB of space.
Download from this link of uSHAREit.com for Mac OS.

How to use?

  • Download and install SHAREit on your devices from the links given above.
  • Once installed, give a specific name to your device.
  • You will get the option to either send or receive.
  • Tap on Send on the device from which you want to share photos, videos, music, contacts, or even apps (only for Android users).
  • Select all the files that you want to share and tap the OK button.
  • Tap on Receive on the second device.
  • For Android: You will see the second device on the first device’s screen Select that.
    For Others: You’ll get on-screen instructions, commonly to connect both devices to the same network.
  • Data transfer will start.

Get paid apps for free in iOS9 without Jailbreak via KuaiYong

Hi Guys,



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.

He is a London-based “consulting detective” whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases. Even the police forces and other national security forces approached him on cases where they stuck.


Holmes, first appeared in print in 1887, and was featured in 4 Novels and 56 Short stories. The events in the stories took place from about 1880 to 1914. Most of his stories were written in third person by Dr. John H. Watson, his friend, with an exception of 4 stories.


Take this quiz to find out which Sherlock Holmes are you? I'm Dr. Robert Downey Jr. (thanks for asking).

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.

How to do In-App purchase for free (iOS)?
	


	

		
Hi Guys,


Today, we are gonna learn how to get In-App purchases for free in any jailbroken iDevice by using this famous or I may say infamous tweak called LocalIAPStore.


Why a post on getting in app purchases for free?


TechGlobule by no means is supporting and will never support Piracy. LocalIAPStore is meant for fun purposes and making gameplay easier for various different apps.


How does the app works?


Freedom acts as an alternative wallet, featuring payments while in-app purchases in almost all the apps.


Who’s the developer? and List of Supported Apps


You can research a little bit about the developers behind Freedom on its official website. The nicknames of developers are ZonD80 and MadKite. You can follow ZonD80 on Twitter, if you know Russian.


LocalIAPStore has published a list of supported apps on their blog; although it is incomplete. You can also help in completing that list.


Will it support my device?


The app supports all jailbroken iDevices running iOS 6 to iOS 8.1. It worked fine on iPhone 4S (iOS 8.1.2) and iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2).


In which Repo will I find it?


It is available for free on the In-AppStore.com Cydia Repository in Cydia. Simply go to Sources > In-AppStore.com Cydia Repository > All Packages > LocalIAPStore > Install > Confirm and he tweak will be installed. If you are unsure how to install, see our post or YouTube video to get assistance regarding installations in Cydia. In-AppStore.com Cydia Repo – http://system.in-appstore.com/repo/


How to use it?


Method 1 (Standard Receipt). Follow these steps –


    

  • After installing the tweak, go to Settings > LocalIAPStore.
    • 

  • Enable the first option and disable “Generate custom receipts”.
    • 

  • Open any app featuring in-app purchase.
    • 

  • Try to buy something, a pop-up will be displayed asking for your Apple ID’s password. Tap Cancel.
    • 

  • {Optional step}. If the pop-up appears again and again, tap on Cancel only. Sometimes the pop-up appears up to 5 times. But saving a dollar is worth wasting a minute.
    • 

  • You are done. You will get whatever you tried to bought.
    • 



Method 2 (Custom Receipt). Follow these steps –


    

  • After installing the tweak, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID:abcd@efgh.com.
    • 

  • Tap on your Apple ID, a pop-up will be displayed with options, View Apple ID, Sign Out, iForgot, and Cancel. Choose Sign out.
    • 

  • Then go to Settings > LocalIAPStore. Enable both the options.
    • 

  • Open any app featuring in-app purchase.
    • 

  • Try to buy something, a pop-up will be displayed. Tap Buy, then on Apple ID pop-up, tap Cancel.
    • 

  • You are done. You will get whatever you tried to purchase.
    • 



Enjoy!! It works with an internet connection to work.

Note


It would not work for online apps. I mean it do requires internet to work but it can’t fake purchases with any online app.


It wouldn’t work with any jailbroken app, because jailbroken apps don’t depend on Apple ID for payment


That’s all folks.
