No stupid questions edition: Pokemon Go

My kid discovered pokemon go and loves it. I’m excited because he’s getting outside and walking around, getting some exercise and not just playing video games in his room all day.

I was thrilled when he asked me to download it so we could be friends. I’ve downloaded it but was wondering if there was a version (or a similar app) that is more privacy respecting?

    Maybe you could mock location, but i don’t really know how much that provides. Through a vpn or location backend.

        Either way, shelter or insular are great for this situation. I like shelter for its auto-freeze function.
