Why installous shut down

By Patrick Gumban last updated July 25, Installous is one of the most popular jailbreak apps that folks can install on their iOS devices. If you have used Installous before, you should know the very reason why its popularity is warranted. After all, Installous is the easiest and fastest way to install cracked apps. For some people, Installous is the very reason why they jailbreak their iOS device and that is something that can't be denied.

Unfortunately, there is the ever-present negative connotation that Installous is used for app piracy. However, it seems that Installous' better days are now behind it as it was announced that the Hackulous repo is now shutting down, along with two of its most popular apps , Installous and AppSync.

As it turned out, the Hackulous community has become "stagnant" and the message boards have become a "ghost town. If you are going to visit the website , you should see the following farewell message from the Hackulous team:.

We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down. After many years, our community has become stagnant and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff. We're incredibly thankful for the support we've had over the years and hope that new, greater communities blossom out of our absence. Hence, installing cracked apps using this popular method is not possible anymore.

What tastes bad? I'm glad that most people currently looking to jailbreak are just to get Installous and fill their phone with hacked apps, most of which cost only eighty-odd cents. I mean, for example, an iPhone 3G or an iPad 1: if the application on duty could initially install it but it has been updated and now requires iOS 6, unless you have it in your iTunes you will not be able to reinstall it because the App Store only offers the latest versions of the applications.

It's like having a computer with Windows XP and suddenly finding that all versions of your favorite programs compatible with XP have disappeared and there are only those compatible with Windows 7 onwards and there is no way to get them if you don't have them installed.

Oh it seems that the current iphone is happy. Haha they only make the apple beard. Remember today iphone, Sharing is not hacking a minimum of users only has jailbreak so developers can rest assured.

What do you call sharing? Because if it is to buy something and give it away or lend it But no, you mean what you do vilely: steal. So you better go to a bank, steal some money and go to the door to "share.

Sharing is giving something of YOUR property to a third party, making it possible for this third party to have it and use it for an indefinite period of time and you cannot.

When you download a pirated App, the one who uploaded it does not run out of it to share it, the App doubles, and this is how a developer of a 1 euro app can earn only 10 euros when their app is owned by people, one app that cost the developer time, training and money to create I am one of those who buy apps if they are worth it, I will have used installous 2 or 3 times to test an app of doubtful legitimacy before buying it, and it makes me angry because they stopped developing appsync and because we will not even be able to test the apps before buying them or download previous versions who have terminals with iOS prior to the current one.

Do not be so pirates and rats as to scam for an cent app when you have a phone that went on the market for euros. Sharing is not pirating obviously it would be ridiculous to pass the mp3s to someone and not copy them, that is sharing, as it is explained that people who have jailbreak are minimal, it is not stolen from the developer. You should not feel guilty about that because the assumption damage is minimal and if it were not so because there are thousands of applications with millionaire profits like angry birds.

Hipster delusional hahaha do you think you're going to struggle with commenting on things like that? Hahaha how many times have you downloaded songs or albums and now they come to be the saints, they think they are going to win a ticket by supporting that cerro installous, hahahaha they make me laugh xD.

The best is Zeusmos, I have tried it and it works wonders, and you don't need the jailbreak. Buy the games and applications They all think they are hipsters, they think that you are going to benefit from the earnings of others hahaha poor delusions, little by little nobody has copied an album by an artist or downloaded a song, they say they are saints when in reality they support piracy, they only have one word "hipsters".

Excuse me but this is my theory: It is wrong that someone who has money does not pay for an application, now that is not wrong if he just tries it. Second theory: If a person who does not have any money downloads a cracked app to keep it, it would not be mine either since it does not harm the developers because that person could never buy that app therefore it does not generate or take away profits; for those reasons I support piracy.

All the applications that I have on my iPhone are pirates and will continue to be so. When a door closes, two windows open. It has always been like this and it will always be like this. What happened when they closed megaupload? With this the same thing will happen.. Installous closes today, nothing happens.. This appcake, vshare and surely many more will come out..

Well, every day I realize that this website and its sister on ipad started very well but day by day it loses a lot of quality, and the loss of quality is because you are selling yourself to the capitalist system of advertising income, you are no longer partial, you no longer offer what users want.

How cool is the rock that is happy about this and has tooooodas the songs from the mobile phone and the computer downloaded in an «unlawful» way hahahahaha that sanctimonious!!!! I have a problem!! Many use this method because for some reason, they cannot buy an app, many of them believe that it can only be purchased with a credit card and they do not see beyond that there are other methods, something that is missing for the apple itself to advertise.

I never saw a spread in iTunes about iTunes credit cards and I know there are, this is an apple flaw. Let's also be honest, there are people who, no matter how much purchase methods they offer, are not going to stop hacking, because they are used to not paying for something they should and that is unfortunate.

Here are also those who say "I get off to test the app" and many end up downloading renowned applications that we already know of their quality and it would not be necessary to try examples such as angry birds, cut the rope, etc and that they would never buy in the app store, they already have it. A very sad reality. Rats You are quite rats. Piracy is good when it is for home use!

Do you think I'm going to spend my money on apps? It's not that I don't have money, but it seems absurd to me. You should try to enter the cinema without paying, steal your clothes from the store, he already has a habit of not paying for someone else's work.

Reply to Danfndz. As far as I know, Installous was the easiest and fastest way to install cracked apps onto your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

As I mentioned above, this is just a small victory against app piracy in general. App piracy is one of the reasons why some people jailbreak their iOS device, and the fact that there is no untethered jailbreak for iOS 6, and more specifically no jailbreak at all for the iPhone 5 might be one of the reasons why Hackulous is shutting down.
