Is there a location spoofer?

It says this app has one online, but I can’t find one

False, deceptive and misleading

I really HATE these miserable tricky companies with a passion and a vengeance. Summary 1. Trial Software is a bait and switch 2. To make software work you need to pay $85 half way through the repair. 3. It bricked the phone 4. There’s no way to contact these guys as their help page doesn’t work and doesn’t allow contact. My story. I downloaded this App because my friend’s iPhone was misbehaving. The app then prompted me to download a computer program on my Mac computer as a trial. So I did that. Then it asked me to connect an iPhone so I connected my friend’s iPhone and restarted as per their instructions and hit the repair button. After 20 minutes of downloading data onto my computer I was asked if I wanted to repair the system and reload onto the iPhone. I clicked yes. Of course it’s not a trial, I had to buy it to fix it. $84 USD later the repaired system is being uploaded to the phone whereupon it crashes at 88% and bricks the phone. I try to contact the company and there’s no way because their help desk website locks up !!!! There’s no eMail for them either. I’m waiting for the charge to post on my credit card so I can dispute this payment. This is an ethics free company with no service and software that will damage your phone. AVOID THEM LIKE the PLAGUE.

Don’t waste your time! Bugged my life!

Got the program because I had a Samsung and was changing to an iPhone and wanted to try and save what I could. I downloaded the software on my computer and phone. Not only did it put a bug on my computer and whip my old phone, it hacked my life! My bank account and credit cards were hacked and it took almost a month to get the $40k they stole! There was no way to contact them either. After deleting the program, I come to find out it embedded itself on my computer in a hidden folder still causing issues. Thankfully I know enough about computers and was able to find it but the only way to remove it was to completely delete and reinstall my operating system. It was a month long nightmare.

Don’t get not worth it

A lot of sites will tell you to get this app. Well don’t listen to them. They will act as if it’s free. It’s not! Not even close. Then it’s transfer doesn’t transfer anything. The repair says it won’t delete data and then it does. Total scam don’t get it you’ll end up paying like $80 for each section when you can do most of the stuff on iTunes. Trust me don’t get it. Find something else. If you don’t listen to this comment and get the app instead and then try it on your pc I wouldn’t recommend it cause your wasting your time but listen to me when I say this don’t waste your money!! Once it forces you to pay DON’T. Find something else trust me you’ll thank me later. It’s a hard life out there. This is a scam. A legal scam, but a scam none the less.

TRUTHFUL REVIEW

everyone complaining about this app just used it wrong. You ONLY need to use this app, and use a browser. If you're trying to transfer photos between computer and phone, open the app and hit photo transfer. It tells u an address to put in, and u get taken to a browser version where you can easily drag files between devices. I've been using it for months now it's really great! Only problem is now I got a new wifi and the address it gave me is wack and I can't connect

Terrible, doesn’t work

I tried using this app on my computer to unlock my old lg and was totally useless didn’t halo a bit. I’m very upset when I tried unlocking my phone all it said was my model phone was not supported and it didn’t even have any other options or tips that’s it. I’m tired of downloading apps that are supposed to be helpful and turn out to be completely bogus like this one.. there’s a reason you only have two stars. I think that app stores should start removing apps that have a rating lower than three stars for an extended period of time it would save a lot of people the headache of crap apps like this.

No longer an app. A redirect to another app

Prepare to be hijacked. This app no longer works and instead you are hijacked to another app they want you to download and pay for outside the App Store. Normally I’d be all for screwing Apple and they are incompetent fools. For more than two years I’ve been unable to download photos off my phone. So first let me give Apple some vigorous hand gestures. A dozen phone calls and still nothing. I though is try this app but if it was an app it no longer is. It’s a hijacking. So vigorous hand gestures to them also. A whole lot of gesturing going on.

False description

This is a bait and switch product designed to advertise a desktop tool. The description does not apply to this app which only allows a few (the last 99) photos to be accessed. The rest of the description, and most of the actual app, just market the desktop program. It is not needed for the desktop program and is basically unrelated to the desktop program. The actual desktop interface is through a browser on the desktop.

Other reviewers are dumb

Great app, others don’t know how to using it , just click on photo transfer in bottom left and in your pc type the ip shown in any web browser and click on any photo or video you wanna download click on it and click on the download icon boom ez

Is it true? I hope not

I pay a yearly subscription for the best use of this app on my computer, only to see that even when I use that acc on my iPad it wants to charge more? I find that a little ridiculous. They shouldn’t just charge you EVEN MORE if you already pay for access to things with that acc. If they want to charge more, they should just make their app cost money.

Fraudulent

Do not trust any of the statements claimed by these developers. Money back guarantee is a lie, they lure you in at a weak moment when you are desperate to almost do anything in order to recover from your device when in fact it doesn’t work. An associate respoded to me that I need to repeat the process two additional times and send proof that I did, and I was offered a 20% refund!!!

Doesn’t work

I just tried this for photo transfer, followed the instructions and visited the IP provided leaving the app open in the foreground. Selected the photos I wanted and hit export at which point it tried to download something but failed saying “network error”. It’s possible somehow the app is being blocked by PC but it did show the photos so who knows. Not worth the trouble to figure it out.

Garbage

Steer clear. No indication of what you’re in for till you’ve downloaded app. And are then presented with ridiculous fees. (Would you prefer to bleed monthly? Or annually??). The “backup” data this junk found on my iPhone SE included call data from 1969. Sure. Whatever. Couldn’t get it off my computer fast enough. Only hope it’s all really gone.

Scam

I paid $69 for what it guaranteed, but after downloading my phone was bricked and the software wasn’t able to complete its job. Also, before downloading, this company guarantees to keep your data, but right before the last step it gives you a warning sign that you agree with your data being deleted. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!! Complete lie!!!!

Worthless app!!!

Typical bait and switch, don’t bother unless you’re looking to waste your time creating an account just to pay for the services you need. Apps like this deserve to be taken down and companies fined for promoting such garbage that doesn’t work. This app is a perfect representation of the creators, WORTHLESS!!!

Ridiculous

The amount of crap you have to download and pay for and it doesn’t even send documents or photos to a third party is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Advertising and what it says it does is good and all but deliver on what you are telling people it does

Scam and malware

This is a total scam; once you download the software on your computer and connect your phone it will make your phone not work properly issues with Apple ID sign in so that you have to pay them money to fix it. I really don’t know how this app is allowed in the app store. Apple need to remove it.

Does not seem to work

What are these characters? Says you can transfer photos then gives a string of characters to “type into a browser on your computer” but its not a website, just a string of meaningless characters. Not sure why people waste their time distributing non functional apps?

Would be nice to know bottomline price before jumping in.

Hard to know how these reviews would apply to me. None give a comprehensive assessment of what does & doesn't work. I considered this app, but checking online reviews, those say it is extremely expensive.

Terrible

Paid for and downloaded the software, hoping to recover deleted messages. The software did not offer the functionality that was advertised. I immediately asked for a refund and was denied. Do not buy the software!

Very disappointed

I purchased the suite of programs: * Recover doesn’t recover anything from any iPhones or iPads *Transfer only works if I transfer all photos - I cannot select individual or groups * switch does not appear to work with my iPhone 8

Fake Bogus App

Complete waste of time. Tried to back up contacts and would not let it take it to other iPhone. Inbuilt Apple features are billion times better than these fake bogus apps.

Don’t waste your time

After downloading the app to my phone, download the software to my pc, waiting to restore and backup, then you have to pay $90 to restore

6 years ago, TrailingDots

Waste of time

Trying to send MP4 to an iPad. On the iPad it seems ok to start. Then on the desktop they demand you purchase their utility. This requirement was not stated up front. $90 is way too much!

Beware - scam and privacy concerns

Avoid this app. Instead of paying for this use Apple's iCloud subscription.

Same as everyone else, this app does nothing that it promises, with a disingenuous paywall that defeats the purpose of downloading for free.
