CategoriesSB – Cydia – 99 cents

An new jailbreak addon came out awhile ago that I recently got around to trying. CategoriesSB is an extension for Categories. If you use Categories then you need CategoriesSB. It’s that good.

Features:

  • Loading time to open a folder is reduced to almost nothing. This makes it so that you can use nested folders without more and more loading time making it frustrating.
  • It now works with things like extensions like 5 columns.
  • You can add a folder called ‘Recent’ that will work like a quick launcher of the most recently used applications.
  • You can scroll the folder either vertically or horizontally.
  • You can keep the dock at the bottom when you open a folder now.
  • You can enable swipe to close.
  • more

All of these features should just be implemented in Categories as they are very useful and feel like they should have been there from the start.

My old categories folders looked something like:

while my new ones are much improved (yes I know the wallpaper is gone but I’m referring to the icon layout):

For 99 cents the increase in usability for Categories is significant enough to recommend that anybody who uses Categories must have CategoriesSB.

Any thoughts on it? Comment below.
