Is there anything that can give me multiple profiles for my ipad?

My son uses it, he's nearly 3. He likes the peppapig apps & i was wondering whether i could have some tweek that from the lockscreen i could select his profile before leaving him with ipad. In that profile would just be his apps...so he couldnt go messing with my other apps...seeing as its JB, he could mess something up.

You may think im mad letting my son use the ipad by himself, but hes always very careful with it. He's good like that.

Profiles would also expand to my wife having her own aswel.

Just a thought.

Ps - i know theres something to lock You in an app, so i coud use that, give him the ipad & lock him in that app...but i didnt want to use that 1
 
I don't know of any JB mods that allow for user profiles on the iPad -- I believe setting up that deep level of system mod is a very complex task, and I don't know if it's even possible.

Depending on how many apps you have on your iPad, you could just lock down all the ones you don't want your son to get into. I think there was an JB mod that lets you lock down apps, though I don't remember what it was called.

I strongly suggest you do not install iUsers. I had to restore. Complete mess. At least that's what I found. When I was on 4.3.3. It even acted up on the YT vid I saw (after I attempted). Great idea, would love to see another solution.

oops sorry I had no idea. Ive never used it just did a quick google search. :confused:
