Now constantly asks for email confirmation and won’t accept a valid answer. No contact or tech support in app or on website. -- Jim Ellis (DChiJEllis), 2024-12-29 ### ***-- "Super App with occasional hiccups" 2024 December Update: Not sure when this happened, but Glympse no longer sends your location unless it is running in the foreground. This makes it near useless to me now. Typically I’d send the Glympse to my family and then pull up my map app for the trip. Letting Glympse run in the background, so I could navigate highways and traffic with my favorite traffic app. Bummer. Looking for alternatives now. Dropping rating by a star so now rating it at a 3 star app. 2021 Update: My old review below had a request for creating a Glympse for more than 4 hours, they have done that. Not sure which update created this but now the app shows every recipient as NEVER VIEWED even if they have viewed. I get the notifications if they check the link, but the app continues to show them as NEVER VIEWED. A software fix is required. Love it. Would like to see the ability create a longer time. 4 hours is not enough sometimes. After a recent update, when sending a Glympse via txt, the app says it was sent, but it really wasn't. If I reboot my phone, it starts working properly again--for a time. Then reverts to inaccurate "Glympse sent" messages. -- AdminNorm, 2024-12-24 ### *---- "HATE the new interface" Why is it now so hard to have a frequent contact on the center button? Originally you list someone to send a Glympse and it’s saved ready for next time. NOW it’s many steps to accomplish the same task. What an in credible time waster. I would reset to 5 stars if it weren’t for this incredibly lousy interface. O, And I’d fire the designer -- WantStuff2Work, 2024-12-05 ### ***** "Great and very to use." Great and very good tool to help to track and the arrival of guest. -- FDRocha, 2024-11-29 ### ***-- "Recent update made it worse" My wife and I have been using Glympse for years. It was a great app. A recent update made it less friendly. Now we cannot find where or how to stop sharing before the share time is elapsed. Also, for the first time ever, it gave me a dialog box that said sharing will only occur while Glympse is in the foreground. So I was driving and constantly making sure it stayed on in the foreground. I never had to think about that before. Overall, I think Glympse updates location more frequently than Apple’s FindMy so Glympse is very useful. -- dladowaki, 2024-11-06 ### *---- "Ok but stopping app is not easy" Nice app for tracking family on trips. Not a easy way to stop sharing with the newer version. Go back to the older way of doing stopping sharing. -- MD 68, 2024-10-22 ### *---- "New Update Needs to Go" My family and I have been using Glympse for about 8 years. We have never wanted to use Life360, but have peace of mind by knowing where we all are when we are traveling, especially my siblings and I to and from college. Since we have a decent sized family, I usually share my location with 8-10 people. This new update only displays the most recent 5 people, which is inconvenient since we all send our locations to more than 5 people. It is also difficult to search for the people I send my location to as my contacts are NOT in alphabetical order on this app. This has made it incredibly more difficult and inconvenient to find everyone I send my location to since this update. I can search for each person’s name, but the process of adding everyone I need to used to take 5-10 seconds, and now takes well over a minute or two. This new update is also confusing to navigate for my family. It is NOT user friendly anymore and we are considering finding a new app to share our location with. -- Anonymous 371739, 2024-10-20 ### ****- "Great app for all platforms" I love that the notifications this app sends out can be viewed on all platforms even if they don’t have the Glympse app themselves. The most recent updates rightfully restore the usefulness of the main Glympse button at the bottom of the screen, however I really think they need to bring back a way of just looking at the map to see if anyone has viewed your Glympse. They used to have a little number would appear to show how many people had viewed it and now you have to tap the screen and find that information which is dangerous when you’re driving. -- StephenD~, 2024-10-19 ### *---- "$99/year? For what my phone does for free!?" My favorite feature is how you disabled the Help & Feedback button so you can’t hear any complaints about your absolutely insane premium tier. -- JW-69, 2024-10-10 ### **--- "I only want location-- NOT an app-determinedroute" I now understand this is a rather restrictive "navigation" appI that pre-determines a route. This restriction does not meet my need for an app that simply indicates my location without presumptive route "clutter". I need to inform another only my current location--not upon an app-determined route as the app's solution is most likely not my intent. I ride a mountain bike upon trails: even when choosing the bike icon; the app indicates dots upon most-direct roads to a destination I eventually intend to get to upon multiple select trails. So, sharing my location data that is laid upon an assumed route misleads the tag receiver. This can also apply to anyone who might be out for a joy-ride such as with family who might go to s movie, than a restaurant not yet predetermined and then shopping, etc; too much to preload!. If the app allows one to remove the predetermined route--I haven't found how to control that feature via extensive time in the online manual and searches to include whether the paid version of the app provides that capability. So, I'll go elsewhere for an app that simply provides location! -- what unused nickname, 2024-04-25 [View all Glympse reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Glympse Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Argentina | Navigation | #54 | | Top Grossing | Japan | Navigation | #85 | | Top Free | Lebanon | Navigation | #106 | | Top Free | Indonesia | Navigation | #155 | | Top Free | Ecuador | Navigation | #158 | | Top Free | New Zealand | Navigation | #191 | | Top Free | Azerbaijan | Navigation | #202 | | Top Free | South Africa | Navigation | #208 | | Top Free | Peru | Navigation | #218 | | Top Free | Norway | Navigation | #221 | | Top Free | Australia | Navigation | #230 | | Top Free | Malaysia | Navigation | #241 | ## Glympse Discovered Keywords -
