Live Call Translator
Live Call Translator is a breakthrough new jailbreak tweak that can translate live phone calls in real time from one language to another.
The tweak benefits not only you as the jailbroken iPhone or iPad user, but also the person on the other end of the line because it translates your voice in addition to theirs.
You can learn more about Live Call Translator, as well as how it works, in our full review post.
PrimeDeck
PrimeDeck is an augmented App Switcher jailbreak tweak that gives users all the features that Apple seems to fail to provide with each iteration of iOS & iPadOS.
Features include lock buttons to prevent certain app preview cards from being forcefully closed, blacklisting for certain apps, colorization, and more.
You can learn more about PrimeDeck in our full review post.
Gladient
Gladient is an exquisitely beautiful new theme for iPhones and iPads that provides more than 3,700 app icons and 15 wallpapers.
Along with all of that, you get Settings app icons, Status Bar aesthetics, notification badges, a redesigned Now Playing interface, and a whole lot more.
You can learn more about Gladient in our full review post.
Real Weather
The Real Weather add-on for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits can add weather information to any part of your Status Bar that you want.
The information uses an Emoji to depict the current weather conditions, and can also show you the temperature. You can configure the location that weather information is pulled from, in addition to what is shown, and where.
You can learn more about Real Weather and how it works in our full review post.
HALO
The new HALO jailbreak tweak ports the aesthetics of the iOS 16 Lock Screen Now Playing interface to jailbroken iOS 15 devices running Dopamine or XinaA15 v2.
Not only does it replace the widget with a more full-screen look and feel, but it offers customization so that you can personalize it to your liking.
You can learn more about the HALO jailbreak tweak in our full review post.
CarMovie
CarMovie is a new app for TrollStore that lets you play your favorite videos on your CarPlay-enabled head unit in your car.
The app can be used to import new video files and manage any existing ones. Once added, CarMovie appears on your CarPlay-enabled head unit as an app where you can then play any of those videos.
