Woohoo, iOS 4 is here and Glympse is ready Glympse can now share your location in the background while you run other apps. Glympse can now send SMS messages worldwide from any iPhone. _______ "It's called Glympse, ...
Love the interface but wish locations could be set for more than four hours           Wish time windows could be longer
Super easy to use makes it simple for family members to know where I am when Im traveling I love that you can limit the amount of time that someone tracks you Just a great app overall                 Love it
I really like this app but it gets worse with every update           Going the wrong way
My husband sends an email I tap where Im supposed to I see him for about 2 seconds and he never moves Very frustrating Im going to delete it     Terrible App
I hate sharing via text or mail as it opens in web browser even when person Im sending g to has glympse installed on their phone and finally I can send glympse directly to the app again                 Finally send to glympse user is back
Usually takes three or more tries to get it to the work GF sends I get notice and go to app and nothing I send request and wait I get response back and go to app and nothing So I pull down notifications and tap on notice again and this time when it takes me to app I get a your request was sent and then finally it says viewing XXXs glimpse and I finally am shown her location I hate that there is no where in the app to go to to pick up waiting glimpses It just doesnt work at all the way it should     Third or fourth or fifth times the charm
I use this to let people know when Im riding I wish the time window was unlimited instead of 4 hours Its easy enough to extend the time but I have to remember and dig the phone out of my pack to do so which wouldnt be possible if I was hurt and needing help It also freezes and wont reset even if reopening the link Fixing those issues would make it 5 stars I love that the person getting the link doesnt need a smartphone or special app dont lose that feature              Great app
I Was texting my husband who was out of town when I got a message that said I want to see your location thinking it was my husband I clicked on the link downloaded the app and sent my location Later when I spoke with him he said he never sent the link but I sent it to him Thank god we trust each other this creepy app could potentially cause marital problems     Creepy
Every time somebody sends one to me I never get it on the app Its only email Then I have to go through the website Sometimes it doesnt even work So annoying        Receiving glimpse doesnt work
A very useful way to get people get ready when i come pick them up There are some minor imperfections but as ling as it does the job Im happy with it                 Love this app
The current update does not produce a text to send to the glympse recipient And error message displays next to all the glympse Ive tried to send Please correct The older verion was just fine     Update not working
Used to be a great app Now the GPS is 5 minutes delayed doesnt show how fast I was traveling        Doesnt work properly anymore
The app has some great streamlined features However it makes the assumption that you are traveling by car I was on a train that stopped frequently so in inaccurately chose a route and wasnt able to correctly say what time I would arrive Needs an option for travel by other methods hikingwalkingtrainsmall planeetc              Pretty good but
For anyone who hates having to update one or more people about ETA and location when all youre trying to do is concentrate on getting there Not to mention that when youre meeting someone nobody needs to guess when the best time for a location update is Folks can anticipate arrival and leave to meet you when theyre comfortable Finally if someone arrives before you its all on them for once 5 star feature it could use an option for mode of transport If my train followed the streets like it depicts I will be very late and very dead Excellently executed and functioning app              Super useful
Wife or friends want to know How long until You get here Send a glimpse Theyll have a cold drink waiting when You walk in the door                 Great App
Love it Use it all the time Would love for it to be able to message someone at my destination to tell them Im outside Thanks for a great app Update wish I could give another star for changes to the home screen in the latest update Far more streamlined and intuitive Great job                 Supremely useful
Sometimes it stops updating my location and recently it has been adding a 3rd uninvited Glympse User to view my location Who is that It makes me uneasy              Love it but
Very useful app Always dead on                 Very useful
Works as advertised most of the time and when it doesnt I blame iOS backgrounding behavior Would benefit from a watch extension more than any other app I can think of              Needs a watch app
First try after the latest update and the app responded as it used to with instant tracking and only short freeze ups less than 4 min Looking forward to using it again and trusting that I can track my wife during her bike rides              Working better
Thanks for the fix                 Now I can send to multiple Numbers
No way to delete users that are incorrect Sends and never gets viewed to glympse users     Not working
Glympse has been in my top 10 since it came out but now with the recent update its gone way down the list Almost off my phone This has happened on several of my top 10 apps It is usually caused by bad management forcing change where none is needed so it ends up being change for change sake My favorite feature of the 3 buttons on the map that allow you to center on a Glympse or to show all current people on the same map is gone You must now open a sidebar and even then you can only pick one at a time Its also much harder to set up a Glympse especially compared to several versions ago All in all its gone from a 5 star app to a 3 star app It still does what its supposed to do but Ill never figure out why good things turn bad           Good App Gone Bad
App no longer accurately display location when running in background Please fix        Great app but major glitch
I was very impressed with use of the app I find the app very helpful as a user and recipient I would highly recommend this app to a friend or colleague                 A Great Travel App
Very useful                 Luv it
The interface is less informative than before At a quick glance it is difficult to see who you are sharing your location with Its the two steps forward and one step back result I really dont see why they would do this In the previous versions modifying your shared location was easier and required fewer taps     Worsened UI
My husband can get my Glympse But Ive only been able to see him once out of many attempts My husband manages an IT dept and has had no success attempting to get my phone to activate when he send me a Glympse It wont activate with my text messaging     Wont work on my iPhone 6plus
Glympse is such a great tool to use When I have a friend or family member traveling to or from me we always glympse one another to know how far they are time or distance to know if theres traffic backup and if hopefully this never happens youre in desperate need of their location if their car breaks down or they get lost I recommend this to all my friends                 Love glympse in every way
Ive wanted to love Glympse for a very long time but have never been able to The basic idea is fantastic but their implementation leaves a lot to be desired First the location accuracy is poor and the app doesnt try to do anything to smooth it out like locking to roads the way Google Maps does so it looks like the broadcaster is jumping into buildings and lakes and rooftops as they go Second if the broadcaster has doublebacked you just see a jumble of trail and cant easily tell where they are This could easily be fixed if they just faded out the broadcasters trail but they dont Finally Glympses support is pretty lackluster their feature request board is locked with many popular ideas that have gone unanswered for 3 years The app gives you the impression it was once the product of a vibrant startup but is now collecting cobwebs           Stagnant app missing basic features for years
Works well just wish the eta would account for traffic Always says some absurd time when going cross town in Manhattan Would be nice to see traffic at least in the app                 Favorite app
Classic scenario you are going to a concert together a party an event etc and you want to know where your ride is like with Uber Glympse works great for that No issues with software just perfect for what it is                 We use it a lot with family
After losing my beloved Twist I began searching out a replacement everywhere I looked users were recommending Glympse Although Ive been using it semiregularly for over year and Ive seen improvements over that time Im just not satisfied with where the app is at Sending an ETA in Twist took two taps once a favorite was set up Glympse has improved but it still takes three taps Glympse doesnt send notifications for updated ETAs or upon arrival Are you kidding me Sending an ETA for calendar events requires going to a different area of the app And Glympse lists events without locations Why Same with recent destinations In Twist favorites recents and events were all on the main screen If I join someone my wife for example in a trip and they arrive before me Glympse will stop sharing her location and will also expire my trip My biggest gripe is that Glympse does not use push notifications for sending an ETA instead it uses normal SMS messages or iMessage This requires more taps for sending an ETA and for viewing a sent ETA and involves an intermediary app on both ends I just received a notification from Waze that my wife is on her way home Guess I should finish this up           Not a replacement for Twist
This app absolutely destroys my battery life even when its plugged into my car charger I had to get a highcurrent rated charger Also it needs to allow for a longer time duration than 4 hours Why not make it as long as you want On road trips its annoying to have to continually extend the time           Kills battery and needs more time
Easy to use and I love the shortcuts available                 Awesome
Not being able to provide limitless time permissions makes this app useless     Permissions restrict value
With GLYMPSE and GoGo                 Flying high
Reliable and consistent I have no issues sending locations to family members when necessary                 Great app
a moon in orbit                 makes me happier than
Glympse is a lifestyle                 Even bettererer for v30
Best app Ive found to reliably share my location in real time                 Works for showing my location
This is such an awesome app to keep track of loved ones check arrivals I use this app a lot                 Awesome app
When it works it is a great app But there are so many times when I click on a notification and nothing appears on the map I have to request multiple Glympses and keep trouble shooting until I can get it to work It is extremely frustrating Why do the Glympses expire If they can fix this app it would be great as it is Im looking for an app that doesnt upset me so much     This app is maddening
My fiancé and I love it Thanks so much                 Great App
The app is great when it works But it sometimes stops updating the location and doesnt restart        Stops Updating Location
4 out 5 times this never works Arrow never moves it cant calculate it freezes constantly I love the idea but its more frustrating than helpful        Nice idea never works
One of my favorite apps Its on my main screen Everyone I send a Glympse to says how cool the app is They download it Everyone loves it And everyone should definitely use it As a motorcycle rider this is he ultimate way to let someone know when I am going to arrive Its SUPER easy to share and request location My girlfriend lives a mile away and we still use it Try it and see                 Everyone Loves It
Doesnt work on iOS Confusing as ever Perhaps some instructions on YouTube would help Also stalker app alert Give users option to allow gps only when using app Why does it need gps access all the time To drain my battery     Doesnt work
I use Glympse daily on my commute home to let my wife know when Ill be home The v30 update includes some nice visual improvements and improved the usefulness of the map screen for me                 Nice upgrade to a great app
Traveling across state I would need about an 8 hour time limit Pretty ridiculous that youre limited to only 4 Oh also this app always stops updating location     4 hour max time limit too low
