### 5/5 — It works. But..

*2026-01-30*

It works, but i dont know how to get an app that signs apps. And is there a way to get a custom image for the apps?

**Developer response:** The only way to obtain a signed .ipa file is to build the application through XCode on certificates.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-01-28*

Seems most of the people who reviewed just don’t know how or even what an api is, but it’s very functional, little to nearly no ads other than banner ads and does it quickly, much better than downloading other bigger ipa’s, especially good because when I first tried finding an IPA installer I was always told to use feather but it never worked and was hard to install but this is literally in the store so no problem. Yes, definitely recommended above others

### 1/5 — It’s fake

*2026-01-24*

It just always says “uploading” don’t download it

### 1/5 — Not installing

*2026-01-23*

Please fix not installing ipa file 
Error

### 5/5 — Guys sometimes this works but doing it manually is better because signing it is more likely for appl

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2026-01-14*

THIS IS SO BAD CANT EVEN INSTALL IPA FILES AND A VIRUS

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-01-04*

The developers are stupid

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2025-12-19*

when I install and ipa file it says it’s integrity could not be verified so please fix and when you fix it I will give the app 5 stars for now it’s 3

**Developer response:** Our application is not responsible for signing .ipa files, as this violates company policy and Apple policy.

### 5/5 — *Placeholder*

*2025-12-11*

Exploiting bout’ to get wild with this

### 2/5 — Problem with Downloading IPA 108.2MB

*2025-11-29*

I downloaded it i put a PojavLauncher 108.2MB it took a LONG Time to download how can i fix this error?

**Developer response:** At the moment, the only option is to increase the speed of the Internet.
