The launching of Pokemon Go by Niantic for iOS and Android has definitely make the world gone crazy. Everyone wants to throw a Poke Ball at a wild Pokemon and catch it. They want candies and stardust to raise their Pokemon with more combat power. Without doubt it is now the most used smart device apps on earth. It is a free mobile game and available to download from the App Store as well as Play Store.
iOS users who are having a jailbroken iPhone or iPad may have some problems playing this game because Pokemon Go blocks all the jailbroken devices. However, it doesn’t means there is no way to run this app because you can still bypass the jailbreak check using a few popular Cydia tweaks. In order to experience Pokemon Go at its best, this is a few Cydia apps you need.
Masterball
Masterball is the best Cydia tweak to bypass jailbreak check for all apps including Pokemon Go. This is by far the best one because it is free and it works flawlessly on both iPhone and iPad.

Search for Masterball once you have added CokePokes repo.
PokePatch
PokePatch is a great alternative to Masterball. It is an app to hide your device’s jailbreak status from all the apps with jailbreak check. PokePatch allows you to play Pokemon Go on jailbroken iPhone and iPad without any problem. It is the ultimate choice for Cydia users. To install PokePatch, add this Cydia source ryleyangus.com/repo and you can search for the app from it.
tsprotecter8
Just like Masterball and PokePatch. tsprotecter8 is another app to bypass the jailbreak check on all jailbroken iOS devices. It also works well on both iPhone and iPad and allowing you to play Pokemon Go. The only downside is it is a paid Cydia app and you will have to buy it.
