Is there a place to find apps that work?

California:

The iPhone 3GS, in point of fact, runs the latest available version of iOS (6.1.3) and nearly every app in the App Store apart from ones that the *developer* has chose not to make compatible with the hardware because it needs more RAM, processor or graphics power than the 3GS provides.

Typically, when the ios upgrades the developers of the apps are forced to upgrade their app software to be compatible with the newest version.

So you won't find any apps in the app store that are compatible with ios 4.3

You can check what software the app needs in the app store under the picture of the app and the price

It will say category and under that will be a title that says requirements.

That will tell you if any apps are compatible with your iphone. Most likely you will not find any.

It doesn't mean you don't have a good iphone though. It's still a great mp3 player and camera as well as a decent internet surfing device. If you're fine without the apps you can still enjoy it.

Here is a free tool that will let you search the iTunes store for apps which are compatible with the iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1

You can try this I just got it to work on an iphone the other day and makes it possible to get old apps to work again

You can jailbreak as well, edit the coding to match a 6.0 firmware although be careful coding is a big deal, if you don't know what you're doing of course.

I have an iPhone 3G and had to restore factory settings as it wasn't working properly. I now can't use most of the apps that I was using quite happily before the restore. You say that iOS 6 can be installed on 3G phones but my phone won't install anything beyond 4.2.1 so how do I install a later version so that I can use the apps that I paid good money for?

5. League evil lite

7. X-motor

I have found people on youtube and I just searched there apps these are the ones I have found so far I hope this helped you ☺

YES! www/findoldapps.com enter your search info and it will turn up any working apps

http://ios-compatible.com/ - if you need to just find some good old apps and games that are still working, and not sort through millions of dead store pages. Pick iOS4 for iPhone 3G.

I agree..... Apple should make developers retain compatibility with 4.2.1 - if it was dveloped and distributed for 4.2.1 then it should stay that way... !!

Thank you muchly Mackerm..... this utility is most handy and your contribution is very much appreciated

can u help me on my i phone 3g i have no app store on my i phone 3g and now what i do now

I would suggest Redsn0w+Cydia=Jailbreak.

You can't login to the app store anymore but there are games and tweaks and themes on Cydia.

You may even find a tweak that allows you to login to the App Store.

Try Whited00r 7

Let me know how you like it I think it is amazing

it jailbreaks and gives you ios 7

before installing make sure you are running ios 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 so it will work

well, if people can download jailbreak apps without jailbreaking i think lot of people not go the jailbreak. They say AppZule Store is allow you to download those kind of free jailbreaking app. Anyone in here who used it?
