Big news for iPhone users in the EU: a native pornography app has hit the scene, thanks to Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). Meet Hot Tub, a sleek aggregator that lets you browse and stream adult content from popular sites like Pornhub, Xvideos, and XHamster. It’s now available through AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace approved under the DMA.

While you’ve always been able to visit adult websites on Safari, this is the first time a dedicated app like this has been allowed on iOS devices in the EU. Apple’s App Store guidelines typically ban such content, but the DMA opens the door for alternative stores to make their own rules.

Here’s the twist: even though these apps don’t have to follow Apple’s strict content policies, they still need to pass a Notarization process to meet basic platform standards. Hot Tub sailed through this process without a hitch, marking a major milestone for app distribution on iPhones.

The team behind AltStore, the platform hosting Hot Tub, sees this as more than just a tech breakthrough. They’re using the app’s launch to support meaningful causes. For the month of February, Patreon earnings from Hot Tub will go to charities like The Trevor Project and the Red Umbrella Fund, which advocate for LGBTQ+ communities and sex workers.

Developed by c1d3r, a former jailbreak scene enthusiast, Hot Tub promises a cleaner, ad-free experience compared to browsing adult sites. It comes packed with features like built-in search, customizable controls, and subscriber-only perks like advanced filtering and categorization.

Love it or hate it, Hot Tub’s arrival marks a significant shift in how apps are distributed in the EU—and it’s just the beginning of what the DMA might bring to the tech world. Stay tuned!
