Android App - Spoof IP and Location for specific Apps

[akugami]

Hi guys. I tried searching but can't seem to get a clear answer. What I am looking for is an app or utility for Android that you can apply to any other app. Kind of like a proxy that only specific apps will use. Is there such a utility or am I out of luck?

There is a streaming app called myTV which allows you to watch their shows streamed. The problem is it checks either IP address or location data, not sure which, and blocks you from being able to view it.

it almost certainly determines location via ip address. you can check the app permissions to determine if it uses gps.

if it does, you could try one of these:

You can try FakeGPS. Had to use that for mlb.tv app on my android stick, since it doesnt even have gps. There were still other tricks to make it work. Might want to try google for an answer on how to trick your specific app.

If it is by ip, there are VPN apps, although I have not tried one.

Just tried that one to try and listen to the Celtic-Juve match on Tune-In pro, but it didn't work. :|

I agree. It's too easy to disable GPS on most phones. If they're using IP-based location services you're pretty much out of luck unless you can bounce the request off a proxy in an allowed country. And in that case performance will likely suffer.
