## About

AltStore is a third-party app store for iOS devices that allows users to sideload apps not available on the official App Store - no jailbreak required. With AltStore you can: 

* Easily sideload apps (.ipa files) downloaded on your device
* Manage third party sources to browse dedicated store pages and download apps directly 
* Automatically check for app updates in the background

For more technical information on how AltStore works, please check out the project's README on GitHub: <https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore>
