It’s a bad idea to download apps not in the app store. That means that the app does not meet Apple’s requirements for security and privacy, and there’s a good chance it will steal data from your phone and even the possibility it will install spyware. That’s why Apple makes it difficult to bypass your phone’s built in security. As there are 2 million apps that have been approved, there’s clearly something wrong with any app that can’t get Apple’s approval.
