How to Install TopStore on iPhone and iPad

Although there are now several jailbreaks available, they are all semi-untethered and not usable by everyone so many users are looking for a way to install unofficial content on their devices. TopStore is one of the latest unofficial app stores to be released as a Cydia alternative, with plenty of apps, games, and more, all for free and with no need to jailbreak. Here are all the details.

What is TopStore?

Although TopStore was released as an alternative to Cydia, it is fast becoming an incredibly popular alternative to the official iOS app store. The store provides free access to more than 2000 apps, games, and other cool content, including a few Cydia tweaks, streaming apps, game emulators, etc.

TopStore App Features:

When you install TopStore, you get access to all this cool content:

■ iOS Apps – official iOS apps and games for free, including some unofficial content

■ Exclusive Apps – emulators, streaming apps, tweaks, screen recorders, and more

■ Modified Apps –stock games, unlocked and modified with new features

The app store also offers these features:

■ No jailbreak is needed

■ Completely free, including all content

■ Supported on iOS 8 and higher

A note for those on iOS 15 – although TopStore has support for the latest iOS firmware, not all developers have updated their apps and games yet. If some don’t work, be patient – the developers will get around to providing support. You should also ensure that your apps and games are compatible with your device and firmware.

How to Stop TopStore Crashing

There is nothing worse than an app that keeps on crashing and, in this case, it happens because TopStore has been developed using expired enterprise certificates. Apple revokes these regularly and it will usually happen a few days after you installed TopStore. Usually, the developers get the certificate replaced before this can happen but occasionally Apple gets there first. At this stage, just delete TopStore and reinstall it. Then install an Anti-Revoke app which will stop Apple from being able to revoke the app certificate.

How to Delete TopStore

There are two ways to delete TopStore from your device, should the need arise:

Method 1: Delete the App Profile

1. Go into iOS Settings and tap General

2. Open Profiles & Device Management

3. Tap the TopStore profile and tap on Delete Profile

4. Tap on Delete Profile to confirm and close Settings

Method 2: Delete the App Icon

1. Tap and long-press the TopStore app icon

2. When all the icons begin wiggling, tap on the small x in the top corner

3. Tap Delete on the popup confirmation message

Both methods work to delete TopStore
