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.

About

LL Pair

Read full description

Designed for LocationLab users, LL Pair helps you prepare Developer Mode and pair locally on an iPhone running iOS 27 or later. Export the resulting pairing file for use with LocationLab or other tools that support this format. LL Pair itself does not require those apps to be installed. If Developer Mode is missing from Settings, use the Show It option in LL Pair, then enable it in system Settings, restart, and confirm as iOS instructs. LL Pair cannot turn on the system switch for you. Once enabled, select the LL Pair pairing host in Settings and enter the code shown by the app. After pairing succeeds, send the file directly to a compatible version of LocationLab or export it to a destination you choose. Pairing credentials remain on this iPhone unless you explicitly send or export them. Keep the file secure. LL Pair does not provide location or VPN features and does not download a Developer Disk Image.
