Installous 3 Coming Soon

September 22, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

For those of you who don’t know installous is a 3rd party cydia app. Installous lets you download cracked iphone apps from appulo.us to your iPhone directly and install them. It pretty much imitates the appstore app but you get the apps for free. Now for those of you who have been using it, are you in for a surprise. Puyo the maintainer of installous is working on an updated gui, re-writing the whole installous code, and even maybe adding update notifications, pretty freakin sweet huh!!! This updated version will be called Installous 3, look below for a preview video and an eta on when it will be released:

Puyo posted this on his blog stating the eta on when installous 3 will be released.

I had many questions about a release date… Here is the plan :

  1. Installous 3 will go into private alpha stage, with skilled people to help diagnose / debug.
  2. Then probably some sort of beta stage, with more users…
  3. Finally, Public release!
All of that could take one or two weeks…
But before all of that I need Kyek, the http://appulo.us owner to do some *stuff*. Let me explain this.
Installous 3 use an API from Appulo.us to retrieve apps informations, it is not using a website anymore! That’s what makes the app browsing so much faster…
And that API, developed and maintained by Kyek has some issues. Some of you might have noticed in the video preview that the apps downloaded are NOT the apps selected. Yes, the API fails at sending download links, and I’m using an hard coded links stub. And also got some other issues…
On other hand, I only have access to a test server, that does not contains the real data of Appulo.us website. That server would be enough for testing, but with the issues API have… useless.
So I have to wait for Kyek, who has been badly missing for almost one month!…
So just wait and see… No ETA is possible right now…

Another alternative I’m considering, is to disable temporarily Appulo.us native features from Installous 3, until Kyek comes back. That means no more fast browsing apps, no more favorites/updates. But still a better application that Installous 2 at downloading & installing… Butt that’s just more work for me :(
