Editor's Overview

GPS Locker is a navigation application developed by Johannes Fritz, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.1 weighing in at 17.29 KB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 17.29 KB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Johannes Fritz" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

GPS Locker is an app for Android that keeps the GPS locked at all times when activated. This allows the GPS to usable at key moments instead of potentially waiting minutes for the GPS to lock. The app was tested with Android 4.4, 9, and 13. The app targets Android 3-13. The app is very light weight and uses no external libraries.

I made this app because previously I was using an adware app from Google Play and I could not find anything that does this in F-Droid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GPS Locker free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does GPS Locker require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is GPS Locker safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Johannes Fritz. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update GPS Locker?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
