The geofencing thing feels like something Apple could easily resolve. When they review an app, they should just randomly spoof their location.

I don’t know how one of / sometimes the largest company in the world could ever implement such a system. It’s way too complex. /s

We also checked the app’s behavior by running it through a proxy to fake our location to San Jose, California.

So living in San Jose protects me from shady Apps… nah, still sucks here.
