Feather IPA versions for Sideloading

The Feather app for iOS is available in both IPA and TIPA formats. If your device isn't compatible with TrollStore, download the Feather IPA. This version works on all devices and can be sideloaded using your favorite IPA installer or an on-device App Store like FlekStore. Direct links for the IPA installers are available above.

For devices that support TrollStore, it's better to download the Feather TIPA. This version can be installed through the TrollStore IPA Installer. If you're wondering why you should use Feather when you already have TrollStore, it’s because Feather offers extra features like modifying apps, injecting tweaks, and more.

Since the release of Feather 2.1, the regular version and paired one are combined into one IPA file.

• The first is Feather IPA 2.1, which continues from previous versions with dropped support for iOS 15, many improvements and bug fixes, including better support for iPads.
• The second is a new option called Feather IPA 2.0 Paired. It offers a more reliable installation method compared to the original built-in server from Feather v1. This method doesn't rely on networking or SSL certificates—it's fully offline. However, it does require a computer for the initial setup. This alternative installer comes as a separate build of Feather.
