vShare is a name that many iOS users associate with Cydia. Not surprising really, considering it was one of the first Cydia apps to offer us free access to 3rd party apps for free and modified games and apps. Now, with Cydia fading from memory, the developers of the popular app have chosen to allow us access to vShare without needing that jailbreak anymore.
