'Pokemon Go' cheat, tips news 2016: Level Up without leaving home

Since "Pokemon Go's" explosive launch, Niantic has been dealing with enormous challenges ranging from in-game glitches to rampant cheating in the augmented reality game. Despite stern warning from the developer, many players seem unfazed by permaban risks when using third party apps when playing the game.

A number of cheats has been incredibly useful but since the crackdown began, gamers have taken extra layers of caution and avoid being denied access to the highly addictive app-based game. But for many avid "Pokemon Go" players, leveling up has become a major obsession that they often take the risk of incurring Niantic's policing wrath just to get raise their level up.

Per BitBag report, a new global positioning system third party app called TuTuApp has become increasingly popular among those who want to level up without doing a gotta-catch-them-all adventure around town. This GPS Spoofing app can be download from its official website and runs on Android 5.0 or higher. To get started, the app asks "Pokemon Go" users to provide their location, phone, and storage. Moreover, the app also requires getting all sorts of permissions needed to start running on an Android device. However, players are constantly reminded that a ban is imminent when Niantic's anti-cheating policy detects the use of GPS Spoofing app-based tools.

Meanwhile, Niantic is currently working on a new captcha feature as part of their ongoing effort to prevent fraudsters and cheaters from ruining the world's largest AR mobile game. This update is expected to minimize, if not completely eliminate, the number of people who rely on bots and third-party trackers to work around the game's rules. The feature hasn't been implemented yet but tech pundits think that it will make cheating a little more difficult to execute.

"This will be really tough to crack. No one is sure whether mapping trackers will be affected because it really depends on how Niantic deploys the captcha. If they only use it when players spin a Pokestop or try to catch a Pokémon, maps could be fine," Insta-PokeGo creator Steven Bartell said per Business Insider report.

If they are smarter about it and deploy the captcha when they see any sort of suspicious behavior, the maps could be in trouble too."
