Download Shadowrocket from the App Store

Shadowrocket is a paid app. The price is whatever the App Store shows, often about US$2.99. This page explains how to open the official product page. It does not provide install packages or nodes.

Which case are you in

Match your case, then open the store. If search is empty, check the Apple ID country first.

  1. Your App Store can find it

    Open this page’s store link, or search Shadowrocket. Check the icon and developer. Do not install a look-alike. After install you can switch Apple ID if you need to. The app stays on the Home Screen.

    Switching accounts will not uninstall an app that is already there. Nodes and subscriptions do not follow the Apple ID either.

  2. Search is empty

    The catalog follows your Apple ID country. The app is listed in many stores, including the US, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and is usually missing from mainland China. Do not buy a shared account in a forum or group.

    Once the sign-up country is set, that is the shelf you get. If search is empty, see which country you are signed into first.

  3. You bought it before, then switched phones or deleted it

    Sign in with the Apple ID that paid, open Purchased, find Shadowrocket, and tap the cloud icon. You do not pay again. What you get is an empty shell. Nodes come back from a backup or a subscription.

    If it is missing from Purchased, you are probably on the wrong account, or you installed it through Family Sharing.

Confirm these before you buy

If these are not true, opening the store will not install it — or it will install and still not connect.

Device

You need an iPhone or iPad. System requirements follow the App Store page. You cannot put this package on Android.

Account

You can sign in with an Apple ID, and that account can enter its store. Refreshing search will not add an app that this country does not list.

Nodes are separate

The app does not include a subscription. Bring your own URL or a single node, then add it in the guide after install.

App Store product page

After you open it, trust Apple’s page for the developer, price, system requirements, and screenshots. This page only takes you there.

  • Name: Shadowrocket
  • The store link is fixed. Do not follow a search ad to a look-alike page.
  • Pay once. On a new phone, re-download from Purchased with the same account.

After install

An icon on the Home Screen and an empty Home tab is normal.

1 Learn the screens

The four tabs at the bottom are Home, Config, Data, Settings. Add nodes with the plus button at the top right of Home. See official screenshots

2 Add a subscription

If you have a subscription URL, set Type to Subscribe. Save, then update — nodes appear on the list after that. See the steps

3 Then connect

Select a node, then flip the switch. The first time, allow adding a VPN configuration. If it will not connect, start with troubleshooting.
