WLOC vs LocationLab

WLOC is a location changer for iPhone built for QA teams, developers, researchers, and authorized testers. It helps you prepare a chosen coordinate, verify the setup with diagnostics, save the target to your device through a supported network-location test path, check fresh request and result evidence, and restore normal location behavior. AUTHORIZED TESTING PURPOSE AND BOUNDARY WLOC exists for one purpose: testing location-dependent behavior in software that you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Use it only with devices, apps, accounts, networks, and environments that you own or have written permission to test. It is not for deceiving other people or services, interfering with workplace or school check-ins, gaining an unfair advantage in games, evading service rules, or falsifying production location data. WLOC is not a VPN, does not rewrite the iPhone GPS receiver, and does not promise to override every app. WHAT IT DOES Start with one public, low-risk test point. Paste an Apple Maps, Google Maps, Amap, or Baidu Maps link, or enter coordinates directly. WLOC normalizes the target, guides you through one compatible client, checks the service and device-side path, and makes the next action clear. With WLOC you can: - choose, parse, and save repeatable test locations; - save a static test target to the device after diagnostics pass; - see actionable diagnostics for setup, request, result, and cache conditions; - preview and run routes for authorized movement-state QA; - restore pass-through behavior after testing; - keep favorites, routes, settings, and diagnostics on the device by default. WHAT IT CANNOT DO A supported network-location test additionally requires a compatible third-party client on a device you control. GPS, Location Services permission, app cache, account rules, network behavior, and server-side checks can affect what a target app shows, so the result is not guaranteed in every app. iOS 27 beta 6 and later are currently unusable. Starting with iOS 27 beta 6, Apple added additional certificate restrictions that currently block the location-testing workflow. This is a system-level change, not a setup issue on your side. There is no available workaround at this time. If you need to continue testing location features, we recommend staying on iOS 27 beta 5 or earlier, and not upgrading to beta 6 or later. We'll post an update as soon as a compatible path is available. CLOUD AND PRO WLOC Pro and Cloud are sold only through Apple in-app purchase inside the iOS app. The web dashboard and this App Store page are not purchase channels and cannot sell or activate Pro. Downloading the app, signing in, or holding an App Store receipt does not by itself unlock Pro: only a verified Apple-signed purchase bound to your account unlocks it. Restore Purchases is always available and is never blocked by account state. One complete static test remains available before an upgrade is required, and eligible App Store accounts can receive the introductory offer shown in the app. Existing Lifetime Access owners keep their purchased access and can restore it with the same Apple Account. PRIVACY AND DATA BOUNDARY Target coordinates, routes, favorites, settings, and diagnostic results stay on your device by default. WLOC does not sell your location data and does not share it with third parties for advertising. If you sign in to the Cloud dashboard, your account email and entitlement records are stored only to bind a verified purchase to your account, and you can export or delete your data at any time.

LocationLab helps iOS developers and QA testers reproduce location scenarios on their own test iPhone. Search for places, enter exact coordinates or select points on the map to test stationary and moving locations. Features: • Paste multiple coordinates at once, review the parsed count, errors and preview, then confirm a temporary route. • Reorder favorites and saved routes; optimize route order, reverse routes and remove duplicate points. • Create, edit, import and share GPX routes; share plain-text coordinates, one point per line. • Petal Orbit and Ring Orbit patterns with adjustable radius and speed, and continuous or jump transitions between centers. • Share original centers, expanded paths or offset copies without modifying the original route. • Fixed or varying speed, point-to-point arrival pauses, continuous or jump-back loops, and random roaming with adjustable range and speed. • Remember the last selected position without automatically starting simulation on relaunch. • Stop testing and restore the real location. The free tier includes three successful location settings per local calendar day and a homepage banner, subject to consent and ad availability. Pro offers monthly, three-month and annual auto-renewable subscriptions with identical features: unlimited location settings, up to 500 favorites and 100 saved routes, route playback/orbits, random roaming and no banner while Pro is active. Prices are shown in the app. Eligible customers can start a 7-day free trial with Apple purchase confirmation; declining a subscription does not remove the daily free allowance. Restore Purchases and Manage Subscription are on the Pro page. After entitlement expiry, saved data is retained but new paid actions are blocked. A route already started with a valid entitlement may continue for up to 24 hours after its last verified expiry. This does not extend other Pro access, and stopping ends the allowance. Connection loss or system termination can still interrupt playback. Restore Real Location, pairing import and connection recovery are not subject to the daily quota. Requirements: • iOS 26 or later with Developer Mode enabled. • On iOS 27 or later, choose LL Pair to create a pairing file on the iPhone and send or export it. On iOS 26, or when choosing computer setup, connect to a Mac or Windows PC by USB and use the LocationLab Setup Assistant. The macOS release is notarized; Windows may show SmartScreen. • After initial device pairing, use Wi-Fi or follow the app’s built-in tunnel and brief manual Airplane Mode steps to create or rebuild the local connection. The computer is not needed after setup. • If the local connection has failed, follow the app’s reconnection guide before restoring the real location. LocationLab uses the iOS developer location-simulation workflow. Apple Maps and other Core Location apps may receive simulated locations. Pairing files, favorites and routes are processed locally; file sharing is initiated by the user. See the privacy policy for free-tier advertising data and choices. The app does not route general Internet traffic to developer servers. Before navigation, location sharing, emergency services or other safety-related activities, stop testing and confirm that the real location has been restored. Trials automatically renew at the selected plan price unless cancelled. To avoid charges, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Privacy policy: https://locationlab.net/privacy.html Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
