Have an iPad or iPhone that's used by multiple people in your home? Ever experienced rage when your high score in Flappy Bird gets overwritten by your 6 year old kid? How about that time your wife posted photos of her girl's night out on your Instagram account on accident? If you are rocking a jailbreak on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 7 you can put an end to the madness with Slices!
Slices is a newer jailbreak tweak that brings account management to your jailbroken iPhone or iPad. Store multiple accounts on one device and toggle between them without having to sign out. When you create a new slice in an app like Instagram or Snapchat, you'll be asked to log in again. Slices will then remember that login for that particular Slice. In the setting panel of Slices you can set the option for Ask on Touch which means every time you launch an app that Slices supports, you'll be asked which account you'd like to load.
The great part about Slices is that it works with just about any app or game. From social networks to Candy Crush, easily create Slices and load them on launch. Slices is ideal for shared devices as well as folks who have multiple accounts. When I ran a business I would have killed for a tweak like Slices so I could switch between personal accounts and business accounts on social media. It would have eliminated the headaches of signing out and back in as well as accidental posts to the wrong account.
If you're jailbroken on iOS 7, I highly suggest giving Slices a look. It's probably one of the most useful jailbreak tweaks I've seen in a long time. The only request I'd have is the ability to pin code protect slices. This way each person can have their own level of security if they choose to. If you happen to give Slices a go, let me know what you think in the comments!

Slices brings multi-account management to your jailbroken iPhone or iPad
This is genius! Fortunately my kids and wife have their own iDevices now so not a huge problem but a lot of people could use this!
Awesome concept... I used to wish apple would implement something like this when I handed down my old iPhone to my girlfriend (now wife) without completely wiping it 1st!!! Lol. She now has her own iPhone with her own Apple ID, so were good, but damn, if one of us forgets our phone and needs to get something done with the others phone, it'd be pure genius!

Awesome app.. Am I not doing it right...? I can't find the app in the store on my phone... The only thing remotely close to the title is a shopping assistant app? I've searched "slice" and "slices." Did the name change?
It's a Cydia app
You will get SLICE app on cydia after jailbreaking.
A great app, very helpful, just missing final touches, like adding optional security pins to different slices, and to add an easier way to change between slices after choosing a default slice( I am using a default one regularly and want to just use another slice every now in then without having to go to settings every time)
