About this app

Change your GPS location with this simple fake location app with Joystick. Prevent apps and websites from tracking your real location and protect your privacy. Test your location based apps. This app also shows detailed location information, so it can be used as a powerful location status tool. Set a pin on the map using a long press (same as Google Maps), you can also double tap to zoom in/out on the map. Will also keep working if you reboot your phone. To turn it off just tap on the Stop button (also found in the notification).

* Please read everything from this page before using the app: https://www.netlinkd.com/locationchanger/

* Please note: if the app suddenly stops working or the notification disappears after some time, it is probably because it is background restricted in your Battery settings, please make sure to whitelist it so it can run in the background and work properly. Also, if you are using Mock locations mode it is possible that some apps may detect that you are using a fake location and you may get an error message saying that they failed to detect your location, this is normal and Location Changer still works correctly but unfortunately Android can let apps know if you are using a Mock location.

* Joystick: this can be enabled from Settings - Joystick. To set the maximum speed (in km/h) go to Settings - Speed. Double tap on the Joystick and hold it down to drag it to a new preferred position.

* What is "Mock locations"? Mock locations is a hidden setting in Developer options in the Android operating system that allows a device owner to set any GPS location for testing purposes. To enable Developer options go to your device Settings - About and tap Build number 7 times. This may be different on some devices, in this case you have to search how to do it for your device. Please use caution by not changing other system settings.

* You can add multiple pins (Add more) on the map and set an interval in seconds to change the location to each pin. Please note that in Android the interval will vary significantly when you turn off your screen/the device goes into sleep mode. To clear the pins, tap on Done and then long press on the map or search for a location to set a new single pin. You can also change the pins from the location status screen (tap on where it says Multiple locations).
Enabling Drive will drive the location to the next pin instead of teleporting, based on your speed and will update based on your interval.

* Please note that this app does not change your IP address, this is not a VPN. Applications/websites that check your location based on your IP address may still detect your real location.

* Please note: to disable Mock locations on your device you will need to do it from Developer options. You normally do not need to disable it back, but some apps may not like it that you have it enabled, as they can detect this. Also, it is important to tap on the Stop button before you disable Mock locations to get your real location back.

Like other mock/fake GPS apps, it actually succeeds only about a quarter of the time. It's always flashing back and forth between mock and actual locations. So, doesn't really work either. Update: Netlinkd left a comment on my review that location accuracy being turned on is the reason for it flashing back and forth between the mock location and the actual location, but this is not true, because location accuracy IS turned OFF and yet their app fails anyway. Like I said, doesn't work!

Please check out this page and read everything carefully: netlinkd.com/locationchanger/ The answers are there, thanks! Edit: please also try to whitelist it in your Battery settings - if the app is being killed from running in the background that would also cause it to flash between your real and mock location. Send us an email, thanks!

EDIT: Figured out how to move the joystick. Double tap for it. Definitely would help people with instructions or a tutorial at least. This app does what it says it will do. I would expect the average person struggling to understand it. Have to change this. At first I didn't see a description on the numbers given but note I do. U so expect the average person to struggle.

App is good if it works perfectly well but mine has been on and off, it will work perfectly well today and the next day it gives you one minute to location, sometimes i have to uninstall to install afresh and it will work for a while some other times it won't work no matter the changes you make on the settings. It actually has given me good times and very bad times.
