### 5/5 — Works as Advertised

*2026-04-12*

As the dev indicated in his shill on Reddit, this works by hooking into when a website requests your physical location in Safari. This won’t work if you already granted the website permission, or granted it permanently.

Sometimes it won’t work on the first try; I noticed that if a site requests it and the popup does come, and you just press don’t allow, then refresh and try again, no prompt will come but the site will “have your location”

TLDR; this app works perfectly although the exact steps to get it to work can vary per website, it does exactly what it purports to do given the inherent variability behind the scenes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with apps

*2025-12-16*

It doesn’t work with apps

### 1/5 — I payed for lifetime but its not working

*2025-12-08*

Very bad , safari still know my location, i payed for lifetime cause i thought its will trick websites to believe i am from other country so i can buy their services but its didnt help at all

**Developer response:** Hi,

if you have any issues with the app you can contact me at any time at help@bcnlab.org.

### 4/5 — Mostly works

*2025-11-08*

Works, but crashes when trying to create custom locations

**Developer response:** Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Would you mind emailing me at help@bcnlab.org so I can look into the issue?

### 3/5 — A nice idea

*2025-10-20*

This app is a nice idea, but time zone spoofing does not work in Gmail, which seems like a serious oversight. Still, it shows much promise!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2025-09-20*

Re-enabled my sports betting addiction, thank you so much

### 1/5 — Under further review

*2025-09-16*

The devs privacy policy says it actually observes some data collections and logs. The App Store says different. Transparency matters to me.
