Works with apps that use your location.
Rumbo changes the location that iOS gives to apps. Maps, weather, nearby searches, or social apps’ location features may see the location you choose, depending on their own behavior.
Your trip to Dubai, before you go
Choose Dubai Marina in Rumbo and tap Apply. Depending on the app, you may be able to explore local weather, restaurants near your hotel, and nearby plans before you travel.
When you're done, Restore Location returns you home.
How location reaches your apps
Rumbo does not modify the apps: it changes the location that the iPhone gives them when they request it.
Search for a city or location and tap Apply Location.
iOS location services deliver it as if it were the real thing.
The result depends on how each app obtains and checks location.

Development, testing and demos
Examples of apps that use the iPhone's location. Rumbo is not affiliated with them. Each app decides how it uses location, and some may detect simulated locations or not allow them under their conditions.
Ideas to use it well
See what's near your hotel and what the weather will be like before you head out.
Local events, news and recommendations from anywhere.
Check how it behaves in other countries without moving.
Prepare screenshots and videos of your product wherever you want.
Don't share your real location with apps that don't need it.
Before using it with an app
So there are no surprises.
Check it in Maps. It's the most reliable way to see what location your iPhone is using.
Find My cannot be verified. Rumbo cannot check what Find My displays, so we do not guarantee its behavior.
Some apps detect it. They can combine other signals, such as your network, or ignore a simulated location.
Respect the conditions of each app. Some do not allow simulated locations and may limit your account.
Don't use it to deceive anyone. Location-sharing apps may behave differently, and Rumbo cannot verify Find My. Using Rumbo to deceive or harm others violates the terms of use.
