Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 25, 2020

Jailbreakers may recall earlier this month when we showed you a new jailbreak tweak dubbed AnimeMyBadges by iOS developer Antony M that provided a rather interesting breathing animation for your Home Screen’s notification badges. It was simple, short, and sweet, but if you were looking for a different notification badge animation, then you would have found yourself out of luck.

That changed this week with the release of AnimeMyBadges Pro, a paid upgrade from the aforementioned free release that offers nearly a dozen different badge animation styles to choose from.

Juin brings the Spotify app’s Now Playing interface to the Lock Screen

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 21, 2020

Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services on the iPhone besides Apple Music, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does Spotify offer a compelling music database to choose from, but it even pre-dated Apple Music to become one of the most successful music streaming services on the iOS platform and was one of the first music streaming apps to sport a dark app interface that went along nicely with iOS 13’s Dark Mode feature.

Another thing that stands out to a lot of Spotify app users is the Now Playing interface, which features a large central play and pause button and a beautiful full-screen album artwork display. Spotify’s Now Playing interface is unique to the Spotify Music app itself, but with the help of a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Juin by iOS developer Litten, you can now go ahead and enjoy it on the Lock Screen too.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 19, 2020

The Photos app is the best way to peruse the library of photographs you’ve taken, images you’ve saved, and videos you’ve captured via your iPhone or iPad, but that doesn’t mean the app isn’t without its flaws. In fact, there are many ways Apple could make the app better.

iOS developer ahmedmakls realizes the aforementioned fact, and that’s one reason why he just released a new and free jailbreak tweak called PhotosPro. In a nutshell, the tweak offers an allotment of useful features for the native Photos app, allowing you to enjoy more of the app than Apple would typically allow you to.
