Worried about installous shutdown? Appcake to the rescue!

I am sure many of you must have been disappointed on waking up to the news that Installous has been officially shutdown. It definitely was the go-to app for those who prefer testing before purchasing apps.

According to the Hackulous team, the community had become stagnant and moderation of the forums was getting difficult. However, I cannot fathom this to be the reason behind the shutdown. How can a pirate community lose its zeal all of a sudden? There are many questions that have been left unanswered even in the official explanation.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down. After many years, our community has become stagnant and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff. We’re incredibly thankful for the support we’ve had over the years and hope that new, greater communities blossom out of our absence.

With lots of love,
Hackulous Team
