Update Installous Apps

Installing apps using Installous can be a real pain because they don't receive updates - until now. Using Updatr, you can easily check which of your apps are fully updated and which ones need to be updated. Once you find the apps you need to update, they can be easily updated using Apptrackr.

How to Install
  1. Open Cydia, tap on Manage then on Sources.
  2. Tap on Edit, then Add
  3. Type in 'http://cydia.xsellize.com' and tap on Add Source
  4. Once it's done, go to the search tab and type in Updatr.
  5. Install Updatr and go to your home screen
  6. Open Updatr, let it refresh your list. (This may take awhile)
  7. Now you will be able to see your entire list of apps that need to be updated.
  8. To update, select each app individually and tap on View on Apptrackr.
  9. Then select the latest version of the app, download, and then install.
