Cydia App Review – iFile

2 Sep, 2011 App Review, Cydia

iFile, BigBoss $4.00, is one of the two or three most popular Cydia apps and for many people the main reason to jailbreak. iFile gives you complete access to your iPhone, iPod or iPad file system. It’s basically like having windows explorer for you iDevice’s directories. This has tons of uses one of which is making it easy to manage and view your video files. With iFile you can watch not just mp4 but avi or mkv files in seconds. iFile can even unrar your movie files for you! Couple iFile with Downloads Lite and a free video player like OPlayer and you should have no troubles download and watching movies from almost anywhere. I don’t. So the next time I get asked (which will probably be today) how to watch a video file that won’t play I will just refer you to this post. Watch the video and for those that are not jailbroken and thus can’t get iFile . . . . WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?????

It’s so funny…I actually downloaded this app like 5 days ago. I found a website to download e-books, but it was saving it to a unknown folder so IBooks wouldn’t open them automatically, but with Ifile it was easy to find them and open them and they linked automatically to IBook… I was also going into my different folders and found a lot of garbage that was taking space and I just didn’t know. I though I had deleted them. I really recommend this app.

The amazing thing about this app is that I recovered 6GB of wasted video that I couldn’t view on the iPad.

Hey I tried downloading iFile through Cydia, but it just doesn’t install for some reason. :S

@rashivijan What? I would just wait a day then try again. Maybe the repo is offline. iFile should work as its one of most popular and downloaded apps in Cydia.
