What’s the difference between software spoofers and Bluetooth hardware spoofers?

I. Starting from player needs

For Pokémon GO spoofing players, the ideal tool should be stable, safe, and feature-rich.
However, the way different spoofing products operate varies greatly, directly affecting the gameplay experience.
The mainstream options on the market fall into two main categories: software spoofers and Bluetooth hardware spoofers.


II. Software spoofers

Software spoofers (e.g., iPogo, PGSharp) are installed directly on the phone and modify GPS data to enable teleportation, joystick walking, and sometimes even Virtual Go Plus.

  • Pros: Feature-rich, easier to install (compared to rooting/jailbreaking).

  • Cons:

    • Require sideloading or jailbreaking, with risks of certificate revocation and app crashes.

    • Directly modify game behavior, increasing long-term detection risks.

    • Dependent on developers for updates—may become unusable shortly after game updates.


III. Bluetooth hardware spoofers

Bluetooth hardware spoofers (e.g., iTools BT, Armate, FlyMon) send GPS signals to the phone via Bluetooth.
The game only passively receives the location, with almost no modification to the system or game files.

  • Pros:

    • High stability—unaffected by certificate issues, rarely crashes.

    • Better security, since no direct game file modifications.

    • Suitable for long-term sessions and outdoor use.

  • Cons:

    • If lacking built-in Virtual Go Plus, requires an extra auto-catch device.

    • Feature updates depend on hardware and companion app development cycles.


IV. Why your choice affects the experience

Software spoofers provide more functions, but lack the stability and security of hardware spoofers.
Hardware spoofers are more stable, but without built-in automation, additional devices are needed.

Over time, many players lean toward hardware solutions, as they avoid certificate issues and app crashes—making them better suited for long AFK sessions and event grinding.


V. FlyMon

For players seeking a reliable Bluetooth spoofing device, FlyMon offers:

  • Official App Store installation—no sideloading, no jailbreak.

  • Integrated location spoofing, joystick walking, and teleportation within the hardware.

  • Built-in auto-catching and auto PokéStop spinning—no extra devices needed.

  • Cooldown timer to prevent softbans, plus auto-reconnect for stable long sessions.

For those who want safety, stability, and full features combined, FlyMon is a dependable long-term solution.
