# LocationSimulator (open-source gaming app)

> LocationSimulator is a free, open-source gaming app for macOS. MacOS application to spoof / fake / mock your iOS / iPadOS or iPhoneSimulator device location. It has 3,138 GitHub stars and is released under the GPL-3.0 license. Its source code is on GitHub at Schlaubischlump/LocationSimulator.

LocationSimulator is a macOS app that allows spoofing the location of an Apple device (iOS, iPadOS, tvOS). The target audience for this project is developers who want to test their location-service-based application(s). I do not encourage using this application to cheat in iOS games, and I do not provide support for these games. If you use this application outside of the intended purposes, you are on your own.
