Shadowrocket App Store Download

Before you buy / All three must match

How to verify Shadowrocket

Don’t rely on the name in search results alone. In Chinese, Shadowrocket is also known by a nickname, but a nickname, keyword, or similar-looking icon cannot confirm the product’s identity. Open the product details and check the developer name, official icon, and app ID. Once all three match, review the purchase button and compatibility information.

Developer: Shadow Launch Technology Limited

In the product details, confirm the full developer name: Shadow Launch Technology Limited. Search snippets may show only part of the information, and similar wording elsewhere is not a substitute for the developer field. If the name doesn’t match, stop and check the listing again. Don’t proceed with payment just because the name includes Shadowrocket.

Official icon: a blue-and-purple outlined rocket on white

The official icon shows a rocket outlined in blue and purple on a white background, matching the official icon in this site’s navigation. Use the icon as a visual aid, not as a substitute for checking the developer name and app ID. Even if a search result has similar colors, shapes, or wording, open its details and verify the product information rather than relying on the thumbnail.

App ID: 932747118

The product link on this page ends with id932747118; the number is the app ID. On your device, use the product’s share option to view its link and compare the number. Storefront language, price display, and description may vary, so verify the app using the same app ID together with the developer information.

After checking all three details, see whether the button shows a price, an availability status, or a redownload option. If a price appears, confirm the currency and purchasing account before following the App Store checkout steps. If you see a previous purchase, use the restore path first. Don’t rely on reviews, search ranking, or extra words in the title instead of these checks.

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app. Check the App Store product listing for pricing, compatibility, purchase eligibility, and update history. This page explains what to verify and does not substitute older information for what the store currently shows.

Device guide / iPhone

Buying and opening Shadowrocket on iPhone

On your iPhone, open the App Store link on this page. After verifying the listing, follow the store’s prompts to buy the app. You may need to authenticate or confirm your payment details; the checkout screen shows the final amount. Once the purchase is complete, wait for Shadowrocket to appear on your Home Screen or in the App Library, then open it. No further steps in your browser are needed to get the app.

Check the App Store listing for system requirements. Expand the compatibility details before buying to make sure your device meets them. If the store says your device isn’t supported, address the system or compatibility issue first. Your device model, someone else’s installation experience, or an old tutorial’s system-version number can’t confirm current compatibility.

VPN configuration permission and connection are separate steps

The first time you start a connection, the system may ask to add a VPN configuration. This authorizes the device to create the relevant network configuration. When prompted, make sure the request comes from Shadowrocket, then follow the system instructions and authenticate. Allowing a configuration does not mean your server details are correct or that your existing service is available.

After opening the app, have your own subscription or server details ready and follow the tutorial to the appropriate import option. Once imported, check the server entry and current configuration, review your Global Routing selection, and then test the connection. Don’t treat “purchase complete,” “details imported,” and “connection active” as the same status; each has a different place to check.

Check the app’s purchase status under your App Store account and Purchased items; check whether payment went through in your purchase history. If the app remains stuck while downloading, review the specific App Store message, available storage, and network status. There’s no need to change Shadowrocket settings before the app has installed successfully.

Device guide / iPad

Getting Shadowrocket on iPad and purchase eligibility

Shadowrocket is available for both iPhone and iPad. If you already bought it with an Apple ID, sign in to that account in the iPad App Store and redownload the same app from Purchased; you usually won’t need to buy it again. Check the account and app ID before deciding to pay. If the button still shows a price, review your purchase history rather than paying a second time immediately.

The iPad’s larger screen may change where lists and details appear and how much content is visible at once. When following a tutorial, look for interface labels such as Home, Config, and Settings instead of expecting every button to be in the same screen position. Check the App Store listing for system requirements and purchase eligibility.

Using the same purchasing account confirms your eligibility to get the app; it doesn’t mean server entries, configuration files, or connection status are identical across devices. After installation, check what’s actually on your iPad, then import your own subscription or server details. Handle private connection settings only on your own devices and in trusted storage.

Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision

The compatibility section of the same App Store listing includes Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision. Check the listing for compatibility with your target device, system requirements, and whether the purchase is universal. Open the same product page on the target device; availability on iPhone and iPad does not guarantee that every condition is the same on other devices.

The first-run and import instructions on this page focus on iPhone and iPad. Input methods and interface layouts may differ on other devices. Before buying, check the store’s stated purchase eligibility, then follow the options shown on your target device.

For existing buyers / Check your purchase history before paying again

Changing devices, reinstalling, and restoring purchases

After changing or reinstalling your device, open App Store → Account → Purchased and look for Shadowrocket using the Apple ID that made the original purchase. Depending on your system, you may find Purchased under Apps or My Apps. Follow the labels shown on your device. Confirm the app ID is 932747118, then tap the redownload button. If your original purchase is eligible, you won’t need to pay again.

What to check if a price appears

First check that the account used for Media & Purchases is the same one used for the original purchase, then see whether Shadowrocket appears in your purchase history. Being signed in to an account on your device doesn’t guarantee that the store uses the same account; it’s easy to miss this when changing devices. Also verify the developer and app ID to rule out a similarly named app.

If you previously hid a purchase, check the relevant management option in your account. If the store region has changed, first read the current availability message. For a mismatched purchase record or pending billing status, keep your order information and follow the account and purchase support options provided by the App Store. A price button alone doesn’t mean your original purchase is no longer valid.

Restore your usage details after redownloading

Redownloading restores the app itself. Whether your previous configuration is available depends on your backup and sync setup; a purchase record can’t confirm this. After opening the app, check what’s already in Home and Config. If the details are missing, import your saved subscription or server details, then review the configuration, select a server, and test the connection.

If your old device is still available, make sure important configurations are saved before switching, and note the configuration name and any essential settings. Don’t erase all data from the old device until you’ve confirmed that the new one works. Subscription links, credentials, and keys are private connection details; don’t include them in public feedback or screenshots.

Family Sharing eligibility

Check the App Store listing and your current Family Sharing settings to see whether sharing applies and what conditions are required. If the store explicitly says it’s supported, check the family purchase options provided by the system. Restoring a purchase with the same Apple ID and sharing a purchase with other family members are different situations and shouldn’t be confused.

Pricing / The app and connection service are separate

Price and one-time purchase

The US App Store reference price for Shadowrocket is $2.99 as a one-time purchase. Other storefronts show local currency. Check the App Store listing for the final price, taxes, and purchase eligibility. Review the checkout screen before confirming payment instead of relying on the reference price here. A different currency display does not mean it’s a different app.

A one-time purchase describes how you pay for the app; there is no monthly app purchase fee. The App Store manages app downloads, purchase restoration, and updates. When changing devices, use your original purchase record; you don’t need to buy the same app again because a tutorial or interface has changed.

Check the availability period, server status, traffic usage, and terms for any service you already have with its provider; these are managed separately from your App Store purchase. If you can’t connect after buying the app, check the imported details and connection settings rather than buying the app again.

Check updates and purchase history separately

App updates are handled through the App Store. Check the store’s Updates section or use automatic updates in your device settings. Before updating, confirm that important configurations are backed up. Check the product page for the current version and update history; this page doesn’t use a fixed version number as a basis for purchase.

Purchase history confirms the app transaction, Config manages configurations, and connection tests check whether the setup works. Check each separately to find the cause faster: return to the App Store for payment issues, review your saved details for import issues, and follow the official manual for routing or connection issues.
