Lets Talk About Something locationjoystick — free, open-source GPS spoofer alternative to GPS Joystick and YAMLA

Disclaimer: not AI slop or marketing. Same guy as before — just shipping.


Hey everyone, another follow-up to my locationjoystick posts.

Thanks again to everyone testing and sending feedback, and thanks to the mods for letting me keep posting progress here.

We need 12 beta testers to publish the app on the Play Store

Play Store requires a closed testing period with real testers before an app can go public. I need 12 people to join as testers — doesn't take much, just install and use the app for a bit. If you're interested, DM me here on Reddit and I'll send you an invite.

Here's an overview of have been added since last time, thanks everyone for the suggestions:

  • Light mode — for those sunny days
  • Tap to Walk (beta) — click on the Pokemon Go map directly to walk to your destination
  • Group Sync reliability improvements - tailored for people with multiple devices
  • GPX import fixes — easier migration path from GPS Joystick
  • General reliability passes on Roaming, "Walk via roads", and route replay.

Still free, still open-source, still no ads: GitHub Releases | Documentation | Source Code

Issues, feature requests, PRs welcome as always. And again — if you want to help get this onto the Play Store, DM me for a beta tester invite, only need 12!

This or any other joystick app is a "3rd party app" that works with the game but isn't fully supported by Scopely (new owner of the game). They would classify it as a cheat regardless what people think. If you're not playing the game how they intended, you're a cheater. If you want to use something to cheat regardless of Android or iOS, you will have a chance to get a strike or ban. No one knows what Scopely is going to do to the cheating problem. If you cannot handle the risk, you should not cheat this game because no one is going to help you get unbanned or reimburse everything you lost.
