What is Cydia?
Cydia is a Debian APT package manager that lets you download tweaks and apps that haven't been approved by Apple for your jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, via repositories.
Repositories with additional packages can be added to Cydia through "Manage->Sources->Edit->Add".
Cydia is preinstalled with most iOS jailbreaks, since iPhone OS 2.0.
Cydia for iOS 11, updated by Saurik, is officially supported in unc0ver by @Pwn20wnd. (It is also compatible for iOS 12)
In December 2018, the Cydia Store has been shut down, which only affects 3 of the main default repos, including BigBoss. Because of this, one is no longer able to buy tweaks from those 3 repos, but one can still download the free ones.

This is the App Store of jailbroken iPhones (though apps from the App Store still work :P). You can't do without it.
Which is annoying, because Cydia is as SLOW AS HELL. It spends eighty five million years reloading every time you open it- quite annoying.
The reason for its being incredibly slow is that it needs to synchronize the local package list with all the remote APT-GET repositories. A normal installation of APT-GET has about 4 repos enabled at a time. Cydia will sometimes have 20 or more. This is the reason behind the ridiculous refresh time.
Cydia works like it's supposed to just because it's slow at times does not mean it sucks it means you need to have a bigger system partition for mods if you need more info on that see how mods are stored on the ios device system mods that need root for obvious reasons will be on the system partition
Because iwant to collect toxin on zombie cafe
Cydia working very well on my device running on iOS 8.3. Recently I have updated my iOS device to iOS 10.3 which not jail breakable. So I have been using Vshare market app to get all latest paid applications for free.
