Location-based Mobile Game Workaround

Here is a way to obtain items on-the-go while playing a popular location-based mobile game. Frequently I find that as a car passenger, I can use the game for some things at high speeds, but the actual stops/locations that offer the monetized items don't allow me to keep the items even if I manage to select them while driving by. It's important to me to be able to do this, because I don't want to spend money on the game and I live in a rural area that doesn't have a lot of these stops. However, if I turn my location services off while passing one of these locations, I'm able to receive the items! On a few occasions, I've even been able to "sit" on it with the location off, “exit” the shop in-game, then once the timer renews, select it again to collect more items later, no matter where I physically am. In this way I can play the game for free and conveniently without having to park at specified locations. (Note that location spoofing has become more difficult without having to root your phone or download old sketchy versions of services, which could be a security hazard.)




I will edit this to include details if they end up patching it…
