More Feature
Cooling Timer Function
In Game Mode, you can click to toggle the Cooldown Timer switch. Once you select the desired location and click to move, the timer will calculate the necessary wait time based on the distance to avoid cooldown. It is recommended not to perform any other actions before the countdown ends to avoid being soft-banned by the game.

When you don't want to use the cooldown timer, simply click the cooldown timer button again to turn it off.
Location History
The History feature automatically saves the locations you've previously modified. You can easily view, or return to any past location with one tap — perfect for users who frequently switch between spots.

Tips to Avoid Bans
Stay Within Realistic Speeds
Always mimic real-world walking speeds (around 3-5 km/h) when simulating movement to avoid detection by the game or app.
Honor Cooldown Timers
Respect the built-in cooldown counters in games like PoGo. Jumping between locations too quickly can raise red flags.
Limit Teleporting
Avoid excessive teleportation. Instead, use the walking simulation features to create a more natural movement pattern
Play Within a Limited Area
Restrict your gameplay to a 10 km radius from your starting point to reduce the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity.
Use Joystick Controls
Utilize joystick features for more controlled and gradual movements rather than instant jumps between locations
Avoid Bot-like Behavior
Engage with the game normally; avoid actions that resemble bot behavior, such as rapid location changes or automated actions
Monitor Account Activity
Keep an eye on your account for any warnings or unusual activity, and adjust your usage accordingly
