The trusted third-party iOS app store, now powered by TopStore.

Introduction

AppValley began in 2017 as a bold solution for iOS users frustrated by App Store limitations. Built by former members of the TutuApp team and two U.S. developers, it was one of the first platforms to offer a jailbreak-free way to install tweaked apps, modded games, and older app versions that Apple didn’t approve — all without needing a computer or Apple ID.

The concept was simple but revolutionary: give users freedom to install the apps they actually wanted. Whether it was Pokémon Go++ with joystick controls, Instagram++ with enhanced features, or utilities like Filza File Manager, AppValley quickly became the go-to platform for power users and casual iPhone owners alike.

But the road wasn’t smooth. In early 2019, during Chinese New Year, a serious internal dispute escalated. The U.S.-based developers secretly migrated AppValley’s backend infrastructure, locking out the original founders and cutting off millions of users overnight.

Fortunately, the Chinese founding team retained control of the core domain — appvalley.vip and started rebuilding from scratch. This reset gave them the opportunity to rethink security, uptime, and user trust, while continuing to serve a massive global user base.

In 2024, after years of separate operations, AppValley.vip officially merged with TopStore — another trusted name in the third-party app space. This merger unified two major communities under one roof, improving performance, update frequency, and long-term support.

Due to trademark constraints, the “AppValley” name is no longer used for public branding, but the domain remains live, secure, and fully supported by the TopStore team. Users who search for AppValley today are automatically redirected to the enhanced platform — with the same core mission: no jailbreak, no nonsense, just access.

Real User Reviews

“I’ve used AppValley since the early days. After it merged with TopStore, I was surprised how smooth everything still runs. It’s been my go-to for tweaked apps.”
“Didn’t expect much, but it works great on my iPhone 14 Pro. No jailbreak, and I got the apps I needed in 2 minutes.”
“Was looking for a way to install tweaked apps on iOS 17. AppValley via TopStore was the only one that didn’t throw certificate errors.”
“Tried AltStore and Sideloadly, but this was way easier. Just click, install, done.”
“Been using the VIP version for months. Definitely more reliable than free ones, and support replies fast on Telegram.”
“Thought it would break like the others, but the AppValley link still works. Haven’t had to reinstall anything in weeks.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q1: Is AppValley still a thing?
    Yep, it’s still around — just not under the same name. The old appvalley.vip domain is active, but it’s now run by the folks at TopStore. So if you were looking for the same kind of apps and installer, it’s basically business as usual — just with a new team behind it.
  • Q2: Why isn’t it on the App Store?
    Apple’s super strict about what goes in their store. Anything that installs apps using enterprise tricks or profiles — like AppValley does — just won’t fly with them. That’s why you always need to install it from a browser.
  • Q3: I tried installing it and it didn’t work. Now what?
    Happens more often than you’d think. First thing — delete any profile you installed earlier, even if you’re not sure it’s related. Restart your phone (yes, really). Then go back to the link and try again. Still nothing? It might be one of those times Apple killed the cert. Usually they fix that in a day or two. Just check back later.
  • Q4: So… AppValley and TopStore are the same now?
    Pretty much. AppValley teamed up with TopStore in 2024. Now everything’s maintained under the TopStore banner, but the domain (appvalley.vip) still works. It’s kinda like a rebranding without losing the old users.
  • Q5: Do I need to pay for VIP?
    Not really. Most stuff works without it. But if you want smoother installs and fewer revokes (especially during busy periods), VIP helps a lot. Also, there are a few exclusive apps that only show up for VIP users.
  • Q6: Is this safe to use?
    We don’t ask for your Apple ID, and there’s no jailbreak involved. That alone makes it safer than most options. Of course, it’s still a third-party installer — so don’t go downloading random stuff just because it’s there.
  • Q7: What devices does this work on?
    If you’re running iOS 9 or newer — including iOS 18 — you’re good. iPhones, iPads, even iPods (if you still have one) all work.
  • Q8: Why does the profile say “Not Verified”?
    That’s normal for anything outside the App Store. Just tap “Install” anyway. After that, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and trust the profile. You only need to do this once.
  • Q9: My download is stuck on “Waiting”… what should I do?
    Ah yes, the classic “Waiting” screen. Honestly, it can be anything — weak signal, too many installs at once, or Apple messing with certs. What usually works for me:
    • Switch to a different Wi-Fi or go 4G/5G
    • Restart your phone
    • Reinstall the profile from scratch
    If it still won’t budge, it’s probably on Apple’s end. Just give it a little time and check back later.
  • Q10: Can I use AltStore or Sideloadly with this?
    For sure. If you’re into sideloading with your computer, TopStore lets you download the raw IPA files. Just grab what you need and push it through AltStore or Sideloadly. I know a bunch of folks who use this route — works fine.

About the Merge with TopStore

In early 2024, AppValley.vip officially merged with TopStore after years of independent operation.
Due to U.S.-based trademark filings, the AppValley name can no longer be used publicly — but the domain remains under our control and continues to serve global users.

This unified system ensures better uptime, faster updates, and a smoother user experience going forward.

Trust & Safety

Let’s be honest — using something outside the App Store always raises eyebrows. But here’s what’s actually going on.

First off, you don’t need to give us your Apple ID. Not even once. Everything works through configuration profiles — the kind schools and companies use to set up devices. It’s how this stuff’s always worked, and it’s something Apple allows (even if they don’t exactly promote it).

There’s also no jailbreak involved. Nothing on your phone gets “unlocked” or hacked. You install the profile, the app appears, and that’s it. If you ever want to get rid of it, just delete the profile from settings. No cleanup needed.

As for the apps, most of them come from developers in the tweak community — the same ones who built tools like Cercube or iPoGo. We don’t list everything, and we do pull stuff down if people report issues. If anything feels weird, just don’t install it. It really is that simple.

Sometimes installs fail, and that’s usually because Apple revoked the certificate. That’s frustrating, but it won’t damage your phone. Just wait a bit, try again later, or use AltStore if you’re in a hurry.

Plenty of people use TopStore every day — including us. No hidden logins, no weird ads, no silent installs. You see exactly what you’re getting, and you’re in control the whole time.

Alternatives

If AppValley doesn’t work on your device, try these options:

  • TopStore – Our primary platform, supporting both free and VIP users
  • AltStore – A sideloading platform that uses your own Apple ID
  • Sideloadly – Install IPA files manually with a computer

Disclaimer

Occasionally, Apple may revoke our certificates, temporarily preventing app installation.
If this occurs, please wait 24–48 hours and try again.
