Reviews, Pros and Cons

This program performed its function well in our tests, allowing us to change the GPS location in steps.

The problems we experienced was that iTools required Apple drivers installed on the computer before it could effectively detect the connected iOS devices.

Without the drivers, you will see a number of errors popup on the screen. We also noticed that out anti-virus tool kept flagging iTools as a threat, which can be concerning to say the least.

What's more, The interface are not easy to navigate and the features are not easy to operate for beginners.

Any Alternative when iTools Fails to Work?

If you would rather not use iTools, but you still want a reliable easy to use solution that doesn't require jailbreaking to work, you might want to consider MockGo.

This GPS location apoofer has all the advantages of iTools and more, without its disadvantages. Its key features include the following:

• Teleport your iPhone's GPS location to anywhere in the world instantly.
• Use simulated GPS movement modes to move along real roads and paths.
• Use the joystick feature to make the movement appear more natural.
• Easily import GPX files to further refine the GPS location and track GPX easily.
• Use the full map view to make it easier to choose the location you want to use.
• Compatible with most iPhone devices and iOS versions including the latest iPhone 15 and iOS 17.

You can use the multi-spot mode if you want to make a number of stops along a specified path. Install MockGo on your computer first, launch it and then connect the iOS device to the computer.

Step 1: With the device connected, you should see a map on the screen. Now click on the "Multi-stop" mode in the upper right corner of the screen. Then choose the spots you want to move through. Be sure to choose spots along a real path to make the movement appear more natural.

Step 2: In the popup that appears, you will see the total distance that you will need to travel to complete the selected paths. Choose the speed you would like to use and then click "Move Here" to continue.

Step 3: Enter the number of times you want to move and then click on "Start" to begin the simulated movement.

Your GPS will begin to move along the specified path at the speed that you have selected. You can pause the movement and adjust the speed as desired.

Conclusion

iTools is one of the oldest GPS spoofing apps in the business as the needs of its users changed, the program had to improve to meet these needs. 

The improvements we've outlined here are aimed at making iTools a prime competitor in the market as well as a better location spoofing tool.

But at the same time is is not easy to use and effective, compared to MockGo. This is because MockGo is designed for the sole purpose of location spoofing and the numerous other functions included in iTools can hinder its functionality, making the whole process of spoofing location more complicated than it needs to be.
