For many years Moviebox has been widely received by the Jailbreak community however due to it hosting pirated Movies and shows the chances of it being in the AppStore in its current form is non existent.
Due to Googles open software policy Moviebox launched its android version called showbox and its fame has grown considerably. Once the loophole in Apple’s enterprise certificate program was discovered it wasn’t long before Moviebox app was used via the date trick and more and more people have used this feature but like all popular things apple’s attention was raised and this loophole was closed in iOS 8.1.
Pgyer a Chinese site soon raised to the task by allowing users to direct upload apps to its site and for users to download directly to their IOS or android device however this site requires users to upload new versions every so often even if there are no changes and as of late it has required users to put a password on apps if users want distribution to other devices.
Another downside to using sites like this is that you have to authorise the installation but if you don’t use reputable sources such as Moviebox_help then you leave yourself open to malware and other security attacks.
Like all things it will only be a matter of time before Apple looks to close this loophole, however patching a jailbreak requires users to physical update their device.
With jailbreaking users have more freedom to install their apps from reputable sources like dtathemes and then the risks are minimal.

Another advantage of jailbreaking is user also benefit from being able to customise their device to suit themselves.
Another benefit of jailbreaking is that the jailbreak community often act faster than Apple to fix security flaws such as the string of text that caused the message app to constantly crash and also the email security flaw.
Either way it’s up to the user however we suggest users weigh up the benefits and consequences themselves.
