I can help answer all your questions, VanGuardLH, because not only am I an
extremely helpful person, but I've tested EVERY single free ad free mock
location app there is (and wrote about them on this ng many times).

Given I've tested them all, it's likely perhaps that I probably know more
about GPS spoofing than anyone on this newsgroup, so I can help you too.

I know the OP (Steve) well & while he does use Android & iOS daily (just as
I do too), he doesn't know all that much about Android, so you're not
likely to get from Steve which is the best app - but you can try as Steve
is listening so he is welcome to answer your questions for you if I can't.

Steve is an expert (as am I an expert) in the difference between Android
and iOS, although Steve doesn't know as much as I do about Android
technicalities & I don't know as much as Steve does about iOS intricacies.

Together we know a LOT more than any of the rest of the people here do.
That means any answer from both Steve and from me, is a damn good answer.

Just ask.

Please don't guess as your guess is dead wrong. I have tested *every* app
in that list and I reported on them in the past - where in the end, I
settled on Lexa, which does happen to be the most highly rated spoofer app.

 *Fake GPS location by Lexa*

If I recommend an app, it's already damn good as I have a zero tolerance
policy for apps that don't do what they're supposed to do, for free.

Without ads.

Lexa isn't perfect but it's good. But it doesn't have all that I want.

What I'd want in a gps spoofing app is more detail about the cellular &
Wi-Fi access point spoofing it does - and I'd want it to snap to roads when
moving and it would be nice if the altitude database wasn't from Google.

I've said many times that Lexa is the best, but it's a close match since
all the listed apps are free ad free GPS spoofing apps - so the difference
between any two apps comes down to the list of additional features it has.

> A dictionary doesn't teach how to write.

Being an extremely helpful kind-hearted person, I'm going to go a bit out
of my way to help you understand that searching Google Play Store is like
searching the dictionary with your eyes closed and randomly picking apps.

Don't do that.
The Google Play Store search is just about the worst search there is.

Actually, it might even be worse than the Apple App Store search, but
they're both on the same level of absolutely atrocious lack of filters.

Both App Stores just output a list without any useful filtering of it.

When you want meaningful filtering, which you can't get on iOS but you can
get on Android, is why you want to use the free ad free Skyica App Finder.
 <https://skyica.com/appfinder/get/>

It's not an exaggeration there will never be a better search engine in the
history of smart phones than that app, which I helped the developer test.

The search filters are like a UNIX manpage in terms of user control, and
yet, the basic search is a clickbox set of simple suggestions.

In my humble opinion, bearing in mind I know Android better than most
people do, this Skyica App Finder is easily the best app on Android.

Once you use Skyica, you'll never use the Google Play Store search again.
Since you love details, try it and let us know what you think of it.
