Today Icy installer got updated to version 1.2-3291. For people who dont know what Icy is , It an alternative to Cydia to install third-party apps onto your jailbroken iPhone. Below is the list of features added in the updated version of the app.

*  Ability to hide categories you don’t need.
* Category names are now localizable.
* Icy will now auto-refresh sources if it is on Wi-Fi and didn’t refresh in past hour.
* Various GUI fixes in regard to Installed/Updates section.
* Fixed a script issue causing some package not to be installed.
* Add email maintainer button for the console error log sheet to quickly report on errors.
* Fixed sources refresh so stalled repositories won’t affect others.
* Added Polish localization.
* Added Chinese localizations.
* Other fixes.

Though the app has been updated twice now, it is still not a better alternative to Cydia. The app lacks many features like More Information Tab ,Contact tab,Change Package Settings, Screenshots etc. Also the app takes a very long time to refresh its sources as compared to Cydia though RipDev claims that its faster. Also the app isn’t that stable and crashes quite often.
