Here are few insights on Installer.app that is present on every JailBroken iPhone:
- Installer.app is now the largest third-party iPhone developer community
- The Featured tab has a new section called “Featured Applications”. Pretty cool stuff. I guess most of us would have missed this, but the next time you launch Installer.app, don’t forget to check Top 5 applications. Here is the screenshot:

- If you are facing issues with “Installer not refreshing everytime you open this app”, Here is why this is happening:
- Installer.app is make to auto refresh every 12 hours only. So if you open this app within 12 hours it will not refresh automatically.
- If you intend to manually refresh Installer.app, Here is how to do it. Open Installer.app and then hit “Sources” tab > click on top left tab called “Refresh”. And Installer will start refreshing its list of apps.
- There is nothing one cannot do anything about the speed at which Installer.app refreshes. Sometimes it takes ages to refresh and few times it refreshes pretty quickly. This is entirely due to the server load from where the list is refreshed.
- To Add a new repository/source or Rogue/Community source, hit Sources tab and click “Edit” button on the top right and then hit “Add”.
Last but not the least - For best performance, make sure that you are not on EDGE connectivity but on WIFI while downloading any new native application.
