I see nothing in 9.3 that makes me "need" it, but I am still very glad that in the short life of 9.0.2 I was able to jailbreak and can now use the iPhone in a much-improved way.
If Apple will allow Remote Messages (absolutely indispensable to me), Type Status, Upate Hider and the various apps that allow one to use the older versions of Facebook that don't force you into installing Messenger then I may consider not needing jailbreak anymore.
Until then...
Another that is excellent is an app that allows you to easily downgrade apps to their previous versions if you find that a current version is bloaty or has removed key features, etc.
There are a couple of Facebook helper apps that allow you to have much better control over FB and to disable some of the crap, same for the YouTube app.
And then there are several that just make the interface nicer and more useful that Apple won't allow in the app store for some reason.
