As a long time iPhone user, I’d have to admit that jailbreaking my iPhone is always fun and the best way to go, because there are plenty of apps on Cydia that have either failed to make it to the App store or just weren’t comfortable with the Apple’s strict guidelines. If you’ve jailbroken your iPhone or are considering doing so, then you will definitely be interested in these ten top rated cydia apps.

 

Grooveshark

Despite the rejection by the Apple Store Grooveshark has still found its way to the iPhone and continues to be embraced by many music fans, including myself. It allows you to pick and choose the lineup of music you would like to listen to. It stands above the other streaming music apps due to the uploading by user format and its gargantuan library of songs. It also has an affordable subscription model which isn’t going to be heavy on your Wallet.

 

iRealSMS 3.0

Frustrated with the limited texting apps? Then you really need to give iRealSMS 3.0 a shot. This app makes up for the lack of features the other texting apps present. iRealSMS 3.0 allows drafts folders, smileys, search…the whole nine yards. This is definitely an app you don’t want to go without.
