### 1/5 — 不能虚拟手机位置信息

*2024-12-13*

不能虚拟手机位置信息

**Developer response:** It is clearly stated in the description that virtual location is not supported through iTools app.

### 4/5 — very helpful

*2024-11-11*

But…… Is it good to add a Chinese language? please～～～

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your rating. Please contact support (through the app) for the Chinese language.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2024-08-03*

I love all the features this app has to provide, but I did notice that my new house doesn’t appear on the 3D or the 2D map.  - Which made me wonder, how frequently do the map(s) update?

### 1/5 — I want to request a refund

*2024-07-09*

This app is not what I was expecting, they make it impossible to contact support.

**Developer response:** It is easier than ever to contact support, within two clicks you can write an email to support: Cog Wheel (top right - Settings)/Love & Support (bottom right). Please contact support and correct your review. Thank you

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-01-07*

This app is perfect.
mph, altitude, coordinates, direction, gps.

### 1/5 — A SCAM !!! Don’t buy !!!!

*2023-10-01*

this app does not change location

**Developer response:** Hello Kris, is there there at any point mentioned that this app changes location? You can send a location but not change location. Do you guys read the info before you buy? I guess it is easier to write a negative comment than read the app’s description. Thank you

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-03-09*

Used the name as the “iTools” you’re expecting you use on mac but it’s nothing of the such. Total scam to get your buck. Please review features prior to purchase

**Developer response:** Hello Zacclovis, please remove your comment as it has no ground and is offensive. "iTools" is an app that is live on the app store since Dec 15 2012. It is called "iTools" because has many tools (compass, location info, altitude, speed, seismometer, location sharing) and it is on an iPhone. So it is iTools. You can always contact support for any matter through the app. Or visit itoolsapp.app to read further if iTools respects your buck. But of course you preferred to write a comment here. Thank you

### 1/5 — Not good for changing location

*2022-11-24*

This app is unable to spoof a GPS location on iOS

**Developer response:** Hello. iTools does not spoof your location. Is a tool that beside others can send any location to any device. In the FAQ section clearly states that. You can always contact support to guide you in any matter. Either way, thank you

### 5/5 — Fun
