It allows you to inject fake GPS locations on your device with complete control over signal accuracy. Simply select any point worldwide, play it, and Mock Loc fakes the location across all apps on your phone. Key features include the ability to save favorite locations with notes, create playlists of multiple locations with customized timing, and control running playlists remotely via notifications even when the app is not in the foreground. Your scenarios sync across devices after login, saving you setup time. Note that if GPS location appears stuck after closing the app, a phone restart resets it. This tool greatly simplifies complex location testing workflows for Android developers. ## Rankings - #432,433 — Overall - #3 — mock ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.mocker.mockloc.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.mocker.mockloc.permission.C2D_MESSAGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Review summary Users praise Mock Loc for its effective location spoofing, user-friendly interface, and lack of intrusive ads. It is recommended for both testing and personal uses. However, multiple users report instability issues like crashes and freezing, problems accepting terms, missing features including dark mode and better playlist handling, and occasional mismatch in location details after manual changes. Despite these flaws, the app remains highly regarded by its community. ### Pros - Effectively changes and mocks location as intended, even running perfectly in the background. - User-friendly interface with features like playlist creation and shortcuts for locations, aiding project usage. - No annoying ads in the app, making it pleasant to use without interruptions. - Data traffic usage is normal and app does not request excessive permissions. - Seen as one of the best mock location apps by multiple users, recommended for beta testing and personal needs. ### Cons - App crashes or breaks sometimes, including issues like hanging on terms and agreement screen. - Issues with accepting terms or starting the location mock on some devices (e.g., Samsung phones). - Lack of features such as dark mode, ability to loop playlists or super playlists, and better playlist management (e.g., deleting playlists). - Manual location changes sometimes do not reflect correctly in location details. - No bulk option to clear history, requiring clearing individually, which is inconvenient. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Mock Location - Fake GPS Test](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jnu.fakegps) — 32 users - [MockLoc](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mockloc) — 91 users - [Fake GPS Location - MockLoc](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.radiant.gps) — 502 users - [Mock Location – GPS Tester](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.albersa.fakelocation) — 19,698 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Mock Locations (fake GPS path)](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ru.gavrikov.mocklocations) — 4,470,971 users, 4.64 / 5 - [Mock Location](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ykun.MockLocation) — 315 users - [MockGPS: Fake GPS Location](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zenwinlabs.mockgps) — 318 users - [Fake GPS - Mock Location](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gpssimulator.mocklocation) — 81 users - [Fake GPS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id.biz.rrndev.fakegps) — 7,605 users - [Fake GPS Location - Mono Mock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wovex.mono_gps_mock) — 1,209 users - [GPS Simulator: Mock Location](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gpssimulator) — 177 users - [Mock Motion Fake GPS Location](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mockmotion.app) — 367 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mocker.mockloc)
