On January 24, 2012, in iPhone, Tech Product Reviews, by GuestPoster

Yes, we all love the iPhone app store, it’s full of useful little gadgets that make your work and lifestyle easier, and also Angry Birds.

However, outside Apple’s neat little fenced off garden there lie great vistas of incredibly useful apps that, for one reason or another, Apple decided you didn’t need or want. If you jailbreak your iPhone you can go beyond the app store to places such as Cydia, with all the fabulous apps that they can provde. Here are four of the best you can unlock.

Number four: Ad Blocker

This is a proper Ronseal product that does exactly what it says on the tin. You don’t like ads. This app blocks ads. So that you don’t have to see the ads. What more could you want?

Number three: Activator

This app simply executes a system-wide tweak that lets you create customised gestures and commands for pretty much anything on your iPhone. With a pinch or a flick you can open up Facebook or start playing music. This is pretty much essential for customising your device so that it works the way you want it to.

Number two: Winterboard

Once you’ve blocked all the ads from your phone, and trained to obey your every gesture, the next step is obviously to get it to look the part. This is when the Winterboard apps come in handy. Between them these handy little bits of software allow you to apply themes to your iPhone just as you would to a windows desktop, only with even more customisable options. You can even mix and match the themes to create all sorts of crazy effects.

Number one: Unrestrictor

At first this app might not seem so immediately useful. What it does is make your iPhone think it’s connected up to WiFi even when it’s just hooked up to 3G. Big whoop, you might think. In actual fact, it is a pretty big whoop. There are plenty of tasks, such as using Facetime, watching HD YouTube videos or downloading larger apps that your phone will flat out refuse to do if it’s not got a decent WiFi connect. With this app, you can enjoy the full benefits of a mobile Internet where-ever you are.
