Installing Hot Tub

So you're ready to take a dip and get in the Hot Tub... Now what?

Hot Tub isn't available on Apple's 1st party App Store. Instead, you'll need to install it through either a 3rd party app store / marketplace, or manually install the .ipa file on your device.

📱 Alternative App Marketplaces

If you’re based in the European Union, you can install apps from sources other than the App Store on your iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later, or your iPad with iPadOS 18 or later. Learn More

If you're located within the European Union (EU), we recommend using AltStore PAL. AltStore PAL is an official alternative app marketplace available only in the EU. With AltStore PAL you can install apps not available in the App Store, but without the limitations of AltStore (World).

After installing AltStore PAL, you can install Hot Tub by adding the source to AltStore PAL.

🪄 Signing Services

Signing services offer a convenient method to install apps on your device without needing a computer. These services manage the signing of apps using enterprise certificates, enabling direct installation on your device. This process typically involves purchasing a signing certificate or subscription from the service provider.

You can add Flekstore to your device by going to http://flekstore.com/HotTub. Once installed, you can add the (altstore compatible) source https://hottubapp.io/altstore to Flekstore.

💻 Side-Loading

If you're not located within the EU, you can still install Hot Tub with a process known as "side-loading". Side loading refers to the process of using a computer to install apps on your device, without the need for an app store.
