AltLocationServices

Vayun Mathur

AltLocationServices is an open-source (MIT) Android app by Vayun Mathur. The APK we host is 20 MB, it needs Android 13 or newer, and it declares 12 permissions.

The file on this page is AltLocationServices 1.1, 19.86 MB, and it installs on Android 13 and newer.

We compared the signing certificate of this build with the certificate recorded the first time com.opengps.altlocationservices entered the site, and published both the file's SHA-256 and the certificate's fingerprint above so you can check the download yourself. That comparison says the file was not repackaged by someone else; it is not a review of what the app does.

The manifest inside the APK declares 12 permissions, including access to location in the background, approximate location and precise location. Android asks you to approve those the first time the app needs them.

Its licence is MIT. We took this build from F-Droid, and the source for this exact version is linked below.

F-Droid, who build and sign this package, flag it: it only works with one specific server, which is not open source. We pass that on as they recorded it — we have not tested the app ourselves.

We do not show a star rating or an install count for this page: we have no measured figure for either, and a number we cannot source is worth less than an empty field.
