What is the purpose of Cydia App?

But some of the users didn't have any problems with iPhone (3G) on 5.0.1 when jailbroken since  it depends what 'certain apps' were talking about.  Some people that experience Cydia crashes and empty packages and sources listings in the past week.  

They keep getting a error message stating that there username or password is not correct on their email account., but it doesn't seem to be a problem on wi-fi.   And some having some significant troubles with their JB iPhone  4 (iOS5.0.1) after using "certain" apps.

What is the purpose of Cydia App?

Hello William,

 

Cydia is an app that gets installed when you jailbreak your iPhone/iPad/iPod. Some people would really love customizing their IOS products which usually not permitted by apple.

 

Having Cydia, allows you to customize your phone's looks, add utilities and get some cool apps that is not available through the Appstore.

 

The disadvantage of getting your phone jail broken is that apps usually crash and you need to reboot your phone most of the time.
