How to preview Mac apps in App Store on iPhone and iPad

Before iOS 11, following a Mac app link in Safari on your iPhone or iPad yielded a warning message saying you could only download macOS apps using Mac App Store on your computer.

Thankfully, iOS 11's much-improved App Store changes that behavior.

At long last, now it's at the very least possible to bring up Mac app previews on your iOS devices. Yes, no longer do you have to switch to your Mac just to glance at basic information for a Mac app that interests you, such as its price, description, screenshots and so forth.

This tweak lets you customize your iPhone’s locking animation

One of the things that always keeps jailbreaking interesting, at least for me, is being able to modify the stock system animations with something more exciting. Tweaks of this nature have been harder to come by as of late, but that doesn't mean development has ceased entirely.

A new jailbreak tweak dubbed Vespera (iOS 10) by iOS developer muris keeps this part of the jailbreak experience alive by letting you customize your iPhone or iPad's locking animation.

ScreenshotXI brings iOS 11-like screenshot functions to jailbroken devices

If you've forgotten about all the new features that come bundled with the iOS 11 update launching this Fall, then let this serve as a small reminder that it includes significant upgrades to screenshot handling on your iPhone or iPad. Waiting another month isn’t a big deal for stock device users, but upgrading isn't an accessible option for jailbreakers.

If you’re jailbroken and want the same supercharged screenshot features that come with iOS 11 without upgrading this Fall, you can use a new jailbreak tweak dubbed ScreenshotXI by iOS developer DGh0st to get them right away.

Edgify: another tweak that brings Galaxy S8-inspired notification animations to iOS

If you’re a fan of the way the notification system looks on Galaxy S8 devices, then you might want to pay attention to a new jailbreak tweak called Edgify by iOS developer NOPTeam.

If the concept sounds familiar, that’s because a free tweak called 3Edgy5Me was just released last week that did the same thing. On the other hand, we'll show you what sets them apart in this piece.

Alto’s Odyssey will take a while longer

Alto's Odyssey, a much anticipated sequel to the award-winning endless snowboarding odyssey, Alto's Adventure, has been delayed a little because the team is going to need “a while longer” to bring the game to life, developer Snowman's Ryan Cash told iDownloadBlog today.
