AltStore is a program for Windows desktops and laptops that provides access to an eponymous online market where users can download various iOS apps not available in the App Store.
Installation and connection
Before you run the executable file and complete the set up, you need to make sure that you have iCloud and iTunes installed on your PC, because the program does not work properly without these additional services.
Afterwards, you are able to launch the server and connect your iPhone to the computer via lightning to install AltStore on it. This process allows you to bypass iOS restrictions made by Apple and run the application on your phone. Once you establish connection, you may unplug your mobile device and access the store without limitations.
Sideloading
The store is an alternative to a well-known App Store and developed for owners of iphones and iPads in Europe. It is possible to download various utilities and mobile games that are not available on the official market. For example, you are able to install CotoMovies, AirShou, Eclipse and CoolPixel among others.
