Best Jailbreak Apps and Games

August 13, 2010 By Nick Mokey

We shift through the best Jailbreak apps and games for your Apple iPhone so you don't have to waste your time figuring out which ones to get.

Now that jailbreaking an iPhone is as simple as visiting the right website, it’s hard not to want to tread into the exotic, somewhat sketchy seeming world of jailbreak apps. But what can you get from the grey market that you can’t get from Apple’s bright and shiny App Store? Just plenty.

Need to justify your switch to the dark side before you throw that ominous jailbreak slider? Take a look at some of our personal favorites.

Also check out our picks for the best Apple approved iPhone apps.

RockApp, Free through Cydia

When you jailbreak using the latest exploit – Jailbreakme.com – you only get one third-party app store installed: Cydia. RockApp is basically the Ford to Cydia’s General Motors, doing much the same thing, but a little different. It contains a lot of software you simply can’t get from Cydia, and even has what we consider a better interface. Apps typically cost more money, but every single one comes with a free trial, so you can make sure it’s worth purchasing before breaking out the credit card.

Frankie at 3:15pm 17th December 2010 My question is regarding the icons on the very top of the Welcome To Rock screen shown above. The icon showing just before the 100% and battery - what does that stand for? I have AT&T and don't have that icon
eti at 1:28pm 4th December 2010 I'm (genuinely!) not an Apple fanboy, but does it not seem odd to jailbreak and then have to pay for all these apps? http://www.theiphoner.co.il/
mee at 1:11pm 4th October 2010 There are a ton of free apps, but jailbreaking isnt to get free apps, its to get functionality that apple doesnt want you to have in a device you payed for.
Adam at 9:55am 22nd September 2010 Just like on the Apple Store, these developers spend time to offer up great apps. Supporting their work by paying them is a small price. Just think about what you pay for a coffee at Starbucks or what you will pay for lunch later today. The one time asking price for these apps is tiny when you think of it in context with the dozens of things you will buy out of impulse at the store.
Peter G at 6:36am 14th August 2010 I'm (genuinely!) not an Apple fanboy, but does it not seem odd to jailbreak and then have to pay for all these apps? Sure, I get that they add some functionality that Apple locked out, but sheesh, 20 dollars for some of 'em?
