✓ Constantly hangs when sending a glympseAfter using this app for years with no problems, the app started hanging when sending the glympse a couple of months ago. I have to hard-exit the app, reopen, and resend the Glympse in order for it to work. I am not sure if the problem was caused by a change in Glympse or iOS, but after months of issues and other complaints, it is still not fixed. I have tried navigating the glympse help menu to find an answer or place to submit a problem, but can’t seem to find any place to get help. Hoping that posting the issue here might help get this bug fixed..Version: 3.29.0
✓ Not working for iPhone 11 ProI use to love this app - but it’s not working for iPhone 11 Pro! It’s so bad!.Version: 3.33.0
✓ Not workingAfter last update on IOS not working. New terms page press Accept but won’t go anywhere. Does this on both our phones. No way to contact support via email so will leave this review. Loved it when it worked and hope for a fix soon.Version: 3.35.3
✓ Fatal ErrorNow just dead. Won’t start just reports fatal error..Version: 3.35.3
✓ Not working for ios14Unfortunately hasn’t worked properly since iOS 14. App crashes as you send a Glympse, recipients get ‘fatal error’. 🤷♂️.Version: 3.35.2
✓ Only works in 4 hour chunks?Only works in 4 hour chunks.Version: 3.2
✓ 😔😔😔😔😔I got this app and it does not work on what’s app and it doesn’t even work on messages if it did work it would be a great app.Version: 3.33.0
✓ UnreliableDoesn’t work. Have tried once or twice a year for a decade and it does not work. Often the problem occurs at the recipient end - they receive the notification on their iPhone X, 11 or 12 but cannot access my location. Complete junk..Version: 3.35.3
✓ Un-believable lagTo do anything in this app you need too push the buttons at least 5 times IF it decides to work and not crash. Night mode is even worse as to search an address you need to type every detail about the destination for the app to find it, then 2/5 times you can set it as your destination if it doesn’t crash, if I didn’t have to use it for work I would not even consider this terrible app on my phone.Version: 3.33.0
✓ View only needs Navigate optionSending SMS link opens page with a map. But it needs a navigation link in google maps so you can navigate to location to make it perfect for my use..Version: 2.37
✓ Location services always onPlease allow for location services to be used while the app is being used only. I prefer not to be constantly broadcasting my location..Version: 3.21.0
✓ Not able to sing inI am not able to sign in. It says activation code sent to my number not received any..Version: 3.35.1
✓ Why doesn’t the Glympse open directly in the app?When receiving a Glympse when I first started using the app, it used to open their location directly in the app and it was great. Now it opens via browser and I have to click the View in app option. Today when I clicked that option, it takes me to the App Store and tells me to open the app which when I do, does not show me my friend’s location. Disappointed in this change!!! Am I the only one? Is there a setting I’m missing that I can’t find?.Version: 3.31.2
✓ From flawless 5 stars, to buggy 1 starsTo developers: please help. This bug is being ignored... An app I love is becoming useless... Tried to uninstall then reinstall, same bugs appear: The app no longer opens from text messages, only the webpage. The hard press menu is different than the online support: cannot select preference of opening. Trying to open the app from the webpage leads 3/5 to the iOS App Store and 2/5 to the app. Dropped to one star. Utterly useless with all the bugs. So sad....Version: 3.31.2
✓ No longer worksOn an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.3 this app no longer works. As soon as it’s opened it quits.Version: 3.35.1
✓ Love the app but crashing recentlyThis app is excellent and usually reliable but has recently been crashing when I try to open it. I’d hoped the update available today might have fixed this issue but unfortunately it’s still not functioning and keeps crashing as it attempts to open..Version: 3.35.1
✓ App bombsCan’t use app. Bombs when entering verification code.Version: 3.31.2
✓ Useful appHave started to use this more regularly since installing. It is a good app but the BMW compatibility is really quite poor which is the reason for not rating with more stars. Support for CarPlay would also be a big improvement..Version: 3.31.2
✓ App was great before the recent updateHad to turn off notifications because they were sent by the app every few seconds when someone opened my glympse link to view it. Annoying. Also all info used to be easy to see at once. Someone’s location, speed and seconds since last update were all in one place. I still can’t figure out how to conveniently view that info since the update. Don’t mess with a good thing! Didn’t need a “sleeker” ui. Just need an app that works and glympse used to belong in that category..Version: 3.38.3
✓ Could be awesomeFor some reason the location on the map seems to be delayed when compared with the actual location. Sometimes it doesn't locate you accurately on the map. Google maps work fine in the same location.Version: 2.12
✓ Latest update is brokenTrapped in an infinite loop on the EULA screen. Love Glimpse in general, but whatever I just updated to prevents me from using it, even after a power-off reset. Shame..Version: 3.35.3
✓ I did rate this 5* to Glympse BUT...It simply isn't up to scratch. The description says it gives an ETA. Well, it doesn't (and before you ask, yes I set a location!). Also it doesn't track in real-time in the app. There's also no way of it updating? I received one Glympse, it updated once and didn't again. Both phones had signal and location active. Would be better with Push alerts to say when someone is X Minutes/Miles away. ETA feature would be nice (considering it boasts this feature). Also the web version is rubbish as the map it shows is too far zoomed out and no option to set zoom level. Therefore no accurate street level zoom. You can in the app, but then ya can't refresh!.Version: 0
✓ Handy but can’t use with Apple Watch series 5I like how this works but when I try to use the Apple Watch app, it tells me that I must turn on the “Allow share from extension” in the Glympse iPhone app. Problem is, there is no option for that setting. It is now where in the Glympse app. I have opened every setting menu, tapped on every option twice to make sure I didn’t overlook it, but it does not exist. This is on an iPhone 11 Pro Max..Version: 3.33.0
✓ Generating Glympse Not WorkingI’ve been using this App for several years and love it. In the last couple days the App stopped working. Although I have data the Glympse App gets stuck “Generating Glympse”. I thought this was a one time event but for me on an iPhone X and IPhone 5s the App will not “Generate Glympse” anymore. My guess is there are server side issues. I’ve power cycled the 2 different iPhones and confirmed data availability with SpeedTest and other Apps. High data speeds are available. I’ve force closed the Glympse App as well..Version: 3.30.1
✓ Gone down hill!Absolutely worthless now. It used to amaze people when I sent one to them. Now it’s not even working! They’re also removing the Apple Watch app! Generating.................................................Version: 3.31
✓ Inconsistent resultsWhen I started using Glympse maybe 8 months ago, it worked really great. But within the past several months, I have noticed that it freezes a lot. In fact today I have a friend traveling who is trying to share his route with me so that if anything happens to him I can alert authorities. However, Glympse has failed for the entire duration of his nearly 2 hour trip. This is not the first time and I want it fixed. It has the potential to be such an awesome app..Version: 3.33.0
✓ Doesn’t work on the latest iOS versionI love this app but it no longer works on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It opens then immediately closes..Version: 3.33.0
✓ Won’t link to twitter anymoreUsed to love this app worked a treat, now won’t link to twitter get an error saying unable to connect to twitter, tried deleting apps removing per permission it’s driving me nuts!.Version: 3.33.0
✓ Aargh bugsJust keeps crashing on iOS 14. Shame as it's such a great app when it's working.Version: 3.35.1
✓ UselessTried this app to help keep track of my family. Out of seven devices, with only two being the same, zero were even remotely close to accurate. We tried using it in several different cities while traveling. Not once (literally) was it within a quarter of a mile of where the devices it was installed on. Seven devices.... didn’t come close to the correct location on a single one. My family and I use a couple of other apps which turned out to be way more accurate, usually within 20 feet or so. Even Facebook’s location sharing feature puts this app to shame. It would make sense to be a little off on some devices, but on several? Come on. Even on my iPhone 11 Pro, this app has never located my phone closer than a quarter of a mile out of the 30+ towns and cities I’ve tried it in. This app is absolute junk..Version: 3.33.0
✓ Crash City!Constant crashing during beta iOS testing and their "support" should be renamed, coz they provide anything but! When provided with the feedback, I was told to try again when not beta testing; isn't that the point? To fix things before public release? They've updated the app since they were advised of it not opening, yet still haven't bothered to try fix it. Good work, Glympse staff; another previously happy customer who won't be back. 👎🏻.Version: 3.20.0
✓ Love the app but,In last month has been crashing closed either on opening or once creating a link. Most infuriating..Version: 3.35.1
✓ CrashesI still use iOS 8.x, and ever since last update, it crashes and cannot even open. I hope they fix it, as I don't want to get iOS 9, as it slows down my iPad too much....Version: 3.10
✓ LukakuDoesn’t share any location at all.Version: 3.35.3
✓ Very good, but...I always used glympse to share location with friends and it works pretty well, but recently it started crashing a lot..Version: 3.10
✓ ConfusingEnough said.Version: 3.4
✓ Functional but annoyingThis is a great app until you don’t rate it. Firstly the repetitive and annoying nature of the reminders is a big detractor. Finally cause I haven’t got around to rating it, it has stopped working for incoming glimpses. So while the app has the potential to be great it falls to annoying..Version: 3.31.2
✓ Facebook sign-in severedCan no longer sign in to my account as Facebook sign-in no longer works..Version: 3.35.7
✓ Useless appFriends send a glympse via text to see where they are and the app refuses to load it. Stays on the data acceptance screen and just reloads it after accepting the terms. Force closing does nothing. WiFi vs cellular does nothing. Deleted the app and brought up the link through the website and it worked 2x. Subsequent glympses from friends give a site can’t be reached or the page continually refreshes itself every 2 seconds but never loads. Again making the friends glympse useless. Sharing location with google maps is infinitely simpler and actually works each time..Version: 3.35.3
✓ GlymseThis app used to work well, Not anymore, it rarely works correctly, always stops tracking. Doesn't work more often than it works! I recommend you find another app!.Version: 3.0
✓ Why is this so bl**dy complicatedMe and my girlfriend have been (trying to) use this app for a while now, it seemed like a perfect solution to that 'let me know when you're home' conundrum, which is always a recipe for disaster when alcohol is involved. Yet here is an app that theoretically broadcasts your loved ones location for as long as they deem necessary. Sounds great doesn't it? Practical but not intrusive. Except it doesn't work. Firstly sharing your location is a nightmare. For some reason there's no such thing as a registered glympse user, instead the app wants to send a text message, or an email, or a facebook message, which is fine (sort of) so long as the other person actually gets the message... Which invariable they never do! Why can't they just be there, on the side panel - tap them and you're sharing?? Is that such a difficult thing to engineer? Requesting someone's location works on the same flawed principal leading to much anxiety and conversations along the lines of 'why didn't you respond to my glympse request?' And finally, when you do get the app working, half the time it just stops working. No reason. Just stops. I really really need a simple app to view and share my location - I'd be more than happy to pay for such an app... so long as it was simple to use and worked every time.Version: 3.14
✓ Useful but poorly designedFirst off I want to say this is an amazing app. But you can tell the developers don’t love their app, it’s been over 5 months since an update. Yet their Apple Watch app still requires a option that they removed 10 revisions back, meaning you can not sent a glympse from your watch because they removed a option in the settings and the watch require that setting to work!!! Trying to find a support email address or forum is totally a waste of time because they don’t want your input. I was forced to say these things because of their horrible support. Look for a way to contact them, I dare you...Version: 3.33.0
✓ Crashes Every time l open the app.Keeps Crashing.Version: 3.33.0
✓ Not what it was in the beginning....I travel frequently for work and for the last several months there has been issues with Glympse. With both sending location and if someone requests my location, unless we are both on the phone it will not link. Seems useless if one has no way to pick up the link at another time! AND...most times even if we are both on the phone at the same time it will not link. For busy people, knowing arrival times is crucial! I have an iPhone, and the app is current. I think this is an important app, but believe me, I’m nearly ready to look at other options, such as purchasing Spot which I would prefer not to do, but the reliability and ease of use, even with tech-savvy people, with Glympse is suffering badly..Version: 3.31.2
✓ Accept.. Accept… Accept…Can’t get past accepting the terms and conditions!! What a waste of time! Deleted!.Version: 3.35.3
✓ Just doesn’t work as described (groups)For some reason the links always open in a browser even on my phone and looking at their FAQ from 6 yrs ago there doesn’t seem to be a valid way to just make this change in the application. Due to this I cannot make or share any private groups and there just does not seem to be anyway to get any help at all. Used to use this app with the bike club but going to have to move to a newer more modern application as this one is showing its limits and age. Wish there were just more options..Version: 3.35.9
✓ Great app gone backwardsThis has been one of my favorite apps but the new version is terrible. Just to switch between 2 people's maps I have to hit the drop down arrow, then select the other person, then hit the drop arrow again. Are u kidding?? The old one had an arrow on the top bar that u hit and instantly switched maps (one tap is much better than three) please fix design people!! How did that get through at the design meetings!!.Version: 2.01
✓ Not working at the momentOpened the app and clicked to change country, app crashes! Bypassed this step, click settings button, app crashes Reload again tap section to change your name, app crashes Just not working for me and needs an update so uninstalled again.Version: 3.30.1
✓ Dark mode UI not fully supportedFor a modernized UI, this misses the mark, i was shocked that dark mode still isn’t fully implemented throughout the whole app!.Version: 3.38.5
✓ Great app but should work with Apple CarPlayThis is a great app but defeats the purpose of having a navigation app that you don’t have to pick up and use with your hands while driving. It has yet been made compatible with Apple CarPlay. Also, it has a little bug. It’ll show somebody viewing the clips you sent to them and it will say “7 watching“. Another user may show up as “2 watching“..Version: 3.35.3
✓ Crashes upon generating link and doesn’t trackOnce again the app no longer tracks you when using it. People who receive a link only see a non-moving location. It doesn’t change when you change location. The app also crashes immediately upon generating a link to share, which is why I suspect the tracking isn’t working correctly. This happens quite often with this app. It needs to be fixed..Version: 3.35.1
✓ Great app but BMW compatibility needs to be improvedThe app is great. I use it so my wife can see I’m on my way to pick her up. It means I don’t have to wait for her to get ready. The only main issue I have is the BMW comparability. It vastly needs to be improved. If you did this I would give 5 stars..Version: 3.29.0
✓ Auto launch when connecting USB annoying!The app automatically opens when I connect to my car (BMW M4) over USB. Please add an option to disable this as it’s very annoying. I will be deleting the app!.Version: 3.33.0
✓ Poor excuse for an appStops working during the trip many times. Shouldn’t have to resend 6 times for a 5 hour trip......Version: 3.28.0
✓ Had to request a locationApp ok but you have to request a location every time. This is no good for my children as they don’t see the request so I can’t track them..Version: 3.36.1
✓ Crashes constantlyApp crashes when you press the settings icon..Version: 3.30.1
✓ App is now failing for my wife to trackHave used this app for years 5 stars, now 1 Star. However, this cycling season the app continues to fail and closes on my wife’s phone. She can’t even accept the link before it closes. Nothing has changed and worked fine up until the end of outdoor cycling in 2020. This for me was important to make her aware of my location, expected return and my safety. Disappointed with the lack of support she has not received. I can no longer use this product and will have to revert to my Garmin device or Specialized helmet tracker. Unfortunately not as nice a Glympse was..Version: 3.35.3
✓ Unable to connect to networkWas great , but all I get now is ‘ unable to connect to network’ ....Version: 3.33.0
✓ ConvergeIt would be nice if the recipient could see their own location as well as the person who sent it to them so they could converge and meet.Version: 3.31
✓ Dont work correctly with my apple watch! Please fix..I like this app and its pretty good.. but then get an apple watch and its one the apps that should work with my apple watch series 6 but i cant use it correctly when i get a message saying “ to send a glympse you need turn on allow share from extension in the glympse iphone app”... and when i try to do that, there is no such option for me to do so in the iphone glympse app.. please fix this issue in a future update...Version: 3.35.2
✓ Two thirds perfect.Mustn’t complain I suppose because it’s free but having downloaded it, it’s not exactly easy to use. The true test of any app is how easy they are to use out of the box..Version: 3.31.2
✓ Excessive trackingUseful app but tracks excessively. Using location services should be strictly limited to when authorised by user..Version: 3.20.1
✓ Fails to loadWorked great before I switched to a new iPhone 11Pro with ios13. Now it doesn’t load..Version: 3.33.0
✓ No longer supportedIt was good while it lasted but as of July 2021 it has not worked for months. Based on comments on their web site they stopped supporting it 4 years ago. Is there an alternative?.Version: 3.35.3
✓ No longer works on ios12 :(I love this app and use it frequently. However it’s become unworkable on ios12. Crashes all the time. Can’t set the country or enter a name. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app but no difference. Please fix soon!.Version: 3.30.1
✓ How?I’m trying to figure this out. My mom has it set to when I text her and she’s driving- it sends her location automatically to me. How do I set that up? I want my location shared with a few specific people in those situations. And does it do it automatically or do i have to start it every time i get in the car? I have my phone settings set to if I’m driving it goes into do not disturb mode. There isn’t much of an “owners manual” for this app- If there is, please... direct me! Excited to set it up and get going!.Version: 3.33.0
✓ It used to be so goodNow it's suddenly so complicated and not intuitive. Why? It was so simple to send an "on my way" Glympse now there is a bunch of steps and too many buttons. Please bring back a basic mode. Test first on people who have never used it before..Version: 2.05
✓ UnreliableVery disappointing. It worked really well for a while but then suddenly stopped following. Can’t make contact with support to sort it out. Great idea-pity about performance.Version: 3.31.2
✓ Oops! Crashes on registration ☹️Crashing every time I press phone number registration conformation!.Version: 3.33.0
