Apple apps cracked with new piracy program

Users can download apps for free.

Piracy of Apple applications continues to be problematic for iPhone developers.

A new program for users to download �cracked� apps free of charge has emerged.

Apple has 35,000 applications in its store, and many of those are available on dedicated piracy sites.

The new app, �Crackulous�, describes itself as �an amazing application dedicated to the iPhone community for cracking apps�.

Figures published by iCombat developer Miguel Sanchez-Grice showed that pirate downloads accounted for up to 83% of all installations over one week.

Jof Arnold, a UK based developer, said: �The world and his dog are trying to hack the iPhone. The underground scene has existed since the start of the iPhone,� and added that Crackulous makes �cracking so easy your granny could do it�.
