    iOS fake gps/location App

    Other than turning off location services is there any App that will ping out a different location of choice should you wish to disguise your whereabouts?

    As far as I can tell they have them in the US but not here....

    Sounds nefarious but I need to have a couple of days off to arrange something for my other half & she’s a bit, well, paranoid & id rather not spill the beans since it’s for a special occasion.

    I'd just change the iTunes password and say the account got hacked so you had to.

    Well I wouldn't, because I can't think of any reason my wife would use my phone to track me......

    Remember, spoon down your pants at airport security.

    Can't you just meet the other bird at yours when the wife is out?

    You need two days to arrange a special occasion do? No wonder she is paranoid.

    Anyway, why not turn location services off and if she calls you saying that you're off the grid say that you do not know what's going on? Just a thought.

    Hahaha - now that wouldn’t be a surprise unless wifey returns home at the wrong time.

    That’s what I’ve ended up having to do.

    Thinking this through, if the app is spoofing your location then it will be reporting to whoever’s looking (ahem...) that you are somewhere you aren’t. Stick with it. So, the person who’s looking will know where you are supposed to have been. First problem, how are you going to answer the innocent question “where have you been this afternoon”?

    Seems like it might be easier to turn it off because the battery was low or something, or accidentally leave it at home. Not sure I’d want some random app showing I was cruising a red light district, or something.
