Our favorite releases this week
FastDeleteKey – FREE
FastDeleteKeyis a new jailbreak tweak that promises to make text backspacing faster on your iPhone or iPad.
The tweak adds a preference pane to the Settings app where you can tune the backspacing speed to your liking. With it, you can be a more productive typist in popular apps like Notes, Pages, etc. by spending less time holding the backspace key and more time typing.

FloatingDock – FREE
Apple gave the iPad’s Dock a lot more love than the iPhone’s Dock in iOS 11, and it’s noticeable. It provides you with quick access to recently-used apps in addition to the ones you placed there yourself, while the iPhone’s only provides access to the apps you placed there yourself.
FloatingDockis a jailbreak tweak that changes this by porting the iPad Dock experience to jailbroken iPhones. As you’re able to see above, the Dock adopts the same aesthetic as it has on the iPad and the small separator appears to differentiate from apps you placed there yourself and those that iOS recommends.
