Looking for the best Cydia Sources/Repos for iPhone and iPad? You’re at the right place! This post will cover some of the best Cydia repos that are available out there! If you have a jailbroken device, you probably have Cydia installed and are probably using some repos. But if you have been looking for some of the best Cydia repos, continue reading this post.

For the uninitiated, let’s briefly explain what Cydia is.

What is Cydia?

Anyone who has been using iOS for awhile now has probably heard terms like “jailbreak” and “Cydia” many times over. For the uninitiated, Cydia is the App Store equivalent of jailbroken devices (i.e. devices that have been modified for the removal of manufacturer-imposed restrictions).

Cydia contains apps, tweaks, settings, and other content that Apple doesn’t allow on the App Store. Want to change the lockscreen of your iPad/iPhone? There are Lockscreen themes on Cydia that allow you to do just that. Want to change your status bar or dock screen? No worries, Cydia has the solution. Fed up with the menu icons and fonts? Just go to Cydia and download the custom icon and font packages of your choice to change the appearance and feel of your iOS device.
