Many interesting tweaks make you think about jailbreaking your iPhone, but thanks to Extensify, now you can get the same tweaks without jailbreaking. Extensify mainly works like a tweak store which enables you to change the properties of apps. Therefore, unlike jailbreak tweaks, which run only on jailbroken iPhones, Extensify gives you the same things without jailbreak.
Apple has already allowed sideloading iOS apps, which enables iPhone users to run Extensify and the other tweaks. But unlike the usual sideloading of iOS apps, Extensify gives its users a complete package with some nice features. The app is set to launch for a limited roll-out this weekend. Here, we have a video hands-on that will take you through the Extensify app.
The Extensify app allows you to download tweaks which are internally dubbed as Exos, in both free and paid versions. However, the scope of Extensify Exos is limited as compared to jailbreak tweaks. Extensify is unable to modify system-level features also its tweaks work for selected features which is not an issue with Cydia tweaks.
The Extensify team has a good track of being a long-time member of the jailbreak community with a degree of trustworthiness but still their newly created concept carries the common issues of jailbreak. As per the details, the apps are downloaded on iTunes but the download actually occurs on Extensify servers after which tweaks are applied on apps before their final appearance on the device.
Like the App Store, the apps on Extensify are cataloged by name, upload, and update dates which help you locate your desired tweak. There are some popular tweaks like the Phantom which allows you to get additional features on Snapchat. Though Extensify provides many alternative options to jailbreak it is yet far from being a replacement for jailbreaking. You can try Extensify at their website here.
