Glympse -Share your location for Positive User Reviews

Beats phoning ahead!Why call to say, “Well, I should be there at (such-and-such a time) – as long as traffic cooperates” – when you could just send them a glimpse of your location instead? That way, the folks at your destination can just tap the link you sent them and know where you are at any moment until you arrive. It’s a great app, and I use it all the time!.Version: 3.29.0

Highly recommended.Excellent!.Version: 3.31

My wife can keep tabs on meLess stressful for my wife and she knows what to do if I go down..Version: 3.35.3

Setting up groupLocation services is great and setting up your group is fairly easy, BUT - not being able to set the group and defer the invite to a later date is terrible. It’s a 5 star app except for this. I wanted to set up my list in advance so I could activate a couple days before an event instead of scrambling at the last minute. In spite of not telling it to send, my messages told me otherwise. I deleted the app and let the people the invites went to know to disregard. Can’t believe we can’t set up a draft-type list we can send when we’re ready..Version: 3.33.0

Awesome appGlympse allows me and my wife to make most of our time. We both have to commute but only have one car. I cannot use public transport to work, so I use the car. I drop off my girl friend at the train stop every morning before I drive to work, however, picking her up in the evening is not that easy since I might be stuck in traffic or her bus/train is caught up by the rush hour. Being on each others' screen through Glympse makes it much easier to still time our pickup well. If she is running late, I go to the store adjacent to the train stop first. If I am running late, she walks towards the way she sees me taking on glympse. Also, for longer driving without the other you can always make sure you know what's going on so that I can have dinner on the table by the time she is home for example. We seriously use Glympse every day. Just great!.Version: 3.27.2

It’s okI use to love it but not so much anymore. It use to let me know when a user has viewed my location but it doesn’t work anymore. Also I can’t seem to find how to get my history of users. I can see them when I go to Share my Location but then it doesn’t let me delete any of them. Swiping doesn’t do anything..Version: 3.35.2

Safe travelsAt first I felt like Glympse was a bit stalkerish and unnecessary. However, I’ve come to like using it because of the feeling of security it provides. I travel extensively around the country with my toddler to visit family. My husband travels for work so he often isn’t with us. I can send a Glympse to my husband and the family members we’re visiting so they can see our progress. If I forget to tell them where exactly we’re stopping for a break or to eat, Glympse shows them where we are. God forbid something happens to us on the road, someone can see where we are..Version: 3.31.2

Great for meeting upWe use Glympse all the time to find each other and meet up as a family. We have six so instead of having to text each other we just share location. I am geographically challenged and get lost a lot, and Glympse saves me from the anxiety of not being able to figure out where I can find my peeps. Love it..Version: 3.35.3

Still needs workI downloaded this app on Two cell phones. When I tried to add a cell phone's location to the other, the app tried iMessage à web site link instead of using the app to add a glympse contact.Version: 3.12

Everything is perfect!You get no bad surprises with using this app! It's solid, stable and delivers what you expect it to do!.Version: 2.15

Love it but want more from itLove it as a fast secure location sharing app but when using it through iMessage I don’t like that you have to have the app open in order to use the iMessage shortcuts I wish it was more streamlined in general. The other thing is that the bread crumb trail can be very inaccurate sometimes it looks like I’m walking to places that I’m not at all. Idk if that is a problem with my phones gps or what but if that could be more precise and fine tuned this would be a killer app. Family360 from what I read isn’t secure and doesn’t care about your data privacy which is why I use Glympse. Hope you guys can make this app more streamlined in the future otherwise I’m pretty happy with the product so thanks 👍.Version: 3.31.2

Fabulously UsefulThis is one of those apps that solves a problem everyone takes for granted--where someone is and when they are expected to arrive--and solves it elegantly. A must have app for families with multiple smartphones..Version: 2.15

It is such a useful appI use it all the time with my wife. There is no more unnecessary waits and phone calls asking when is one arriving . Highly recommend it..Version: 3.27.2

Informative for clientsI love using this app do to several reasons. I own my own cleaning company so whoever I have scheduled that day I leave my home and once I get down the road generally to fuel up I will send them my glimpse to their location. They can see how far out I am and when to expect me time wise. I do travel a lot, so before I started using life 360 with my family I would use this tool as a live location for example my mom or dad or my kids to know that I was safe and they could see how fast I was going and so forth… They like to be nosy don’t they? LOL but I love this app thank you!!.Version: 3.35.7

Fantastic app, only one thing missing really. Siri Shortcuts.If this app could integrate into Shortcuts/Siri Shortcuts, that would be the final thing that’s missing for many people I think.Version: 3.33.0

Very coolI'm a delivery driver and use this every day to show my customers how far away from their house I am. No one complains that you're late when they can watch you driving in real time! ;).Version: 2.15

Update NeededI love this app. We use it on our motorbikes for group rides. If the group gets split up for any reason we are able to identify where the others are and rejoin them. Since upgrading my phone to IOS12 the app isn't working. Select country to enter phone number and crash or enter as guest and select config then crash. Looking forward to a fix..Version: 3.30.1

Amazing appWorks fine and use it all the time. Thanks..Version: 2.38

Pretty useful app!At first, I had my doubts but as I kept using it, I realized this is not a bad app at all. Pretty useful and easy to use. One thing though, it would be so much better that your friends can see where you are before you send them the glymse first. All and all this is one of my fav free apps!.Version: 1.27

Great location sharing appThis app allows you to send a pin of your current location and speed so people can keep track of where you are. An excellent way to keep tabs on family or company coming to visit. What is great for me is that my wife can know where I am in inclement weather or when I am going to be home very late. The only downside is that this is not a Siri recognized app, allowing me to send a Glympse on-the-fly if I forget to send one before I leave wherever I am at..Version: 3.28.0

Great app to use instead of sending multiple textsNo need to send a text when you've been delayed, or to say that you got home safely. Does drain the battery quite quickly, so I use it in the car when plugged into a power source and expire the Glympse as soon as it's no longer needed..Version: 2.15

D jonesI travel to Service customers machinery and appointments are not always exact because of the nature of what I do. Glimpse allows me to notify multiple appointments all at the same time as to my location and progress allowing them to better plan their day, works great and unlike other apps that claim they do this or that, I have never in the last year experienced one bug or screw up with this app, I’m glad my parents didn’t have this app when I was younger and dating!.Version: 3.30.1

It goodI love this app because when I’m at a friends house or something my mom can know where I am and I can know where she is. But the only thing that I would say that I would like to change is that if you have find my iPhone you can just put in there information and know where that are I just wish it were more like that or you could make a friends system like where you have certain people that you have as friends and you can see where they are. But other then that I really do like this app..Version: 3.31

ThanksWe have two homes one on each side of our state of North Dakota, especially in the winter we reside one in each home with frequent visits each time one or the other is traveling we use Glympse to keep checking on each others traveling, it’s such a comfort to know the progress especially with the Weather get in winter , our kids also like keeping track on us.Version: 3.33.0

Love this App!Glimpse is a great application for staying in touch with your family and friends. The best part is that they don't even need to have the app installed or even a cell phone. All they need access to is a web browser and they can track you realtime on a map for a predetermined amount of time. You can even see the last time they last viewed your location. My partner and I use it all the time when we are running late. I highly recommend this app!.Version: 0

Brilliant.Now 2023- still great! 2021 and still in my most used apps! Brilliant app and brilliant to see there are still updates. This app is by far the best location sharing app. Been using it for years and will continue to do so. Just great..Version: 3.35.12

Amazing appThis app is so great. I feel so much safer running and walking the dogs when I can share my location with my husband. Have also shared my location with my Mum when she was worried about us driving 8 hours down from Scotland so she was able to watch our progress! Love it!.Version: 3.35.7

Great appVery awesome app.Version: 2.38

Used by a Corvette group.I’m part of a corvette group and we use this app all the time. Never had any real major issues with it and it’s very user friendly..Version: 3.29.0

Still the bestIt's always been a great app. Just getting better and better. It's a shame other "real" navigation apps don't have such a simple intuitive destination lookup...Version: 2.13

Very little lag,I’ve finally had a chance to use this app. My son had to drive to a town in Northern Québec in January. With the extreme cold weather and snow covered roads, being able to follow his progress was securing for a parent. We talked on the phone and we compared notes as to where he was and there was a 10seconds delay. Absolutely amazing app!!!.Version: 3.35.1

Accurate and DependableTotally recommend Glympse to people looking for location sharing apps. Useful for giving confidence to family or clients, that you are on the way. The means to share location is not totally intuitive/obvious but it's easily found and learned. I'm a little particular about privacy away from when it's necessary to be 100% available, and switch off all Permissions when not using the app. That it's easy to do so, is a great aspect. Please don't "do a Microsoft" as they have recently done with Skype and turn it into an unusable mash!.Version: 3.26.0

Great app…butI’ve used this app for years and loved it. Shame about the recent ‘modernisation’ of the UI, which in my experience is subjective. How do you define modernisation? Change for change’s sake? Unfortunately the live updates are so slow with this new look, and a lot of screen space now taken up by the live info. Still a great free app but a backwards unnecessary step for me!.Version: 3.38.6

Use this app all the time.My husband and I use this app all the time to coordinate meeting up, it's great. He has also introduced a number of friends to the app, who are all using it now..Version: 1.28

Love this appHighly recommended..Version: 2.38

Works great! Use it every day.Functions exactly as advertised. wish there was a way to default opening of links in the app instead of the browser, but that may be a limitation of iOS..Version: 1.27

UsefulI found this great to let people know how far away I am from getting to my destination. They can track my progress even keep an eye on my speed. Haven't used this to keep track of my teenager yet but I can see I could. A handy app..Version: 2.16

Must have. Very useful.This is a great and practical app that doesnt require your friends to be using it. Also makes for a fun talking point when you arrive at your location. Best and most unique app on my phone..Version: 1.21

Consistently usedJust works great. Tremendous tool for finding people and being found, only for as long as desired.full control for the sender, as it should be.best of all, the recipient doesn't need to have the app to view. Brilliant..Version: 2.34

In my top 5 of AppsI think this is a fantastic app. I use it a lot. Just recently I arranged to meet a friend in London. I was coming up from Devon and him from the Isle of White. We were in touch vis Glympse and he could see at one stage I was just a few miles behind him on the M3 so he waited for me at the next services..Version: 3.33.0

Great app to let people see where you areThe app lets you generate a link to share your location for a set period of time. I use it when I’m meeting up with folks, so they can see how close I am. Much easier and safer than trying to use my phone while driving..Version: 3.38.9

Very usefulA great way to let loved ones know how far away you are. Would be good if you could authorise friends to pull your location similar to "find my friends"..Version: 1.25

Love this app, room for further developmentI love this app and I have for many, many years. I'd love to see apple CarPlay support and Apple Watch support roll out however. Particularly the car aspect, I know apple can be super strict on this side of things but if there was some way to add functionality, this would be it. Tell your boss, wife, friend how late your going to be but also give them a direct feed to where you are? Fantastic..Version: 3.11

Amazing appMy whole family has iPhones and we still use and love Glympse all the time. There’s just something cool and reassuring about watching your loved ones in REAL TIME coming and going. When my 13 year old babysits our younger kids she likes it when I send her a Glympse when we’re on our way home. She says it makes her feel better and helps her know when to start cleaning up (and turn off the TV! 😂).Version: 3.31.2

Let your loved ones know where you areI don't use this app very often but when I do it is invaluable. I can send a link to a family member or friend that let's them see where I am. Great when I am driving to pick them up. They don't have to call to find out where I am and how long before I arrive..Version: 3.21.0

So very handyHandy little app, great for letting friends know where you are or when you’ll arrive. Excellent app especially as it’s free..Version: 3.29.0

Very good, but needs tweakingThe accuracy and reliability is excellent. But, there are 2 things that need to be changed IMO. First, you can only set the tracking app for 12 hrs. Would be nice if it were for up to 7 days. Second, there is no way to delete the contacts you have sent the tracker to. My list has 100’s of needless contacts I can’t get rid of..Version: 3.35.7

YeniyimYeni kullanmaya başladım, memnun kalacağımı düşünüyorum.Version: 3.30.1

Wonderfully usefulGreat when traveling and so safe and convenient when driving. People don't need to wonder what's your ETA. They don't even need this app to view your location! Feedback: maybe let us set the update interval..Version: 2.38

Great app. Makes me feel safeI was in a bad accident and hit my head. I had no idea where I was at. I hit redial on my phone and got my husband. He knew the route I normally took to work. He finally found me and got help. If I had this app he could have looked and sent help immediately. If you drive a lot of backroads, country roads this app is an absolute necessity. If you have teenagers that just started driving, this app is a necessity..Version: 3.31

Awesome!Useful app.Version: 2.13

Not as good as it used to beI have an iPhone. With the old version of Glimpse, I could put in any destination address. Then, everyone that I shared my trip with could see where I was how far I was from the destination any given time. The Glimpse app would tell me and everyone that I shared my trip with, how much longer my travel time would be. Now, when I try to put in a destination address, the app wouldn’t allow me to. It will allow me to show others where I am, but not my destination or how much more travel time I have. Does anyone know of a good travel tracking app that works well???.Version: 3.35.1

Constant HangingI’ve used Glympse for years and would rate it 5 stars normally but for the past several months, every single time I send a Glympse, the app hangs, I have to force-quit it, and then re-send the Glympse (always works on re-launch). I emailed support 2 months ago and they were aware of the issue, but to date there has been no fix. I’ll update rating once the app works again..Version: 3.29.0

Awesome AppMy family use this all the time to stay safe and share locations as well as eta’s thx highly recommend.Version: 3.27.2

Best Bet for safetySO SIMPLE to use, even across platforms. Love LOVE using Glympse when loved ones are travelling to KNOW where they are and that they’ve arrived safely. Never has happened, but would also know where someone is if there was an unplanned stop or breakdown… Also great to let someone know where you are even if you’re just out for a walk..Version: 3.35.7

Best tool on your phoneNo better way to have coffee on the table just as the wife rolls into the cafe. Nice thanks guys.Version: 3.35.2

This is the app you are looking forIf you're trying to find someone, or someone's trying to find you, and you're not using Glympse, then you're just making unnecessary work for each other. With this app, you just fire and forget - you can find each other, or the other can just watch your progress. It also avoids any awkwardness about them wondering whether they should call to see where you are, or whether it might seem pushy. On commuting I send a glympse to my wife, and she need never chase me or wonder when I'll get home again.Version: 2.15

Not for meNeeded a tracker so wife could see my location when I’m out in my kayak for safety reasons. Didn’t work for me..Version: 3.36.2

It's all goodPretty damn good.Version: 1.27

Try Out Public TagsWe used Glympse for our youth camp so that parents could go to our website and click on a unique bus link and see the location of the bus as it returned to their town. And as Camp Director I could see where my buses were as they came to camp. And the app even shows me how fast they were going and a estimated hours & minutes until arrival. So helpful! Thanks Glympse team; most excellent app..Version: 3.30.0

Stopped workingI e been using this for a couple of yrs now and all of a sudden it stopped working. Well the only thing that stopped is that it won’t generate the link that I send to people showing where I am at. I have deleted it and reinstalled it but it didn’t help. I tried to send in a message to support but I was not able to get that sent. I do like the app. It is a great thing. I hope to be able to get some support help on this..Version: 3.30.1

Works great when it worksOnly works about one out of 8 tries these days. The other times sit at the generating screen for 20 minutes before successfully generating the glympse. This is on a 100 Mbps LTE network..Version: 3.29.0

BMW compatibilityGreat app but could do with improving its compatibility with BMW cars. Ability to launch app from the car and send text links would make this app 5 star.Version: 3.27.1

I’m old. Glympse is new.My family needs to know when I will arrive and I need the same information from them when they (rarely) visit me. (I told you, I’m old.) Watching them navigate the highways and byways on their way to grandma’s house is a thrill. I can’t imagine the world two hundred years ago when pioneers and settlers couldn’t glimpse their relatives en route to their destinations. Merci, becoupes! Veronica.Version: 3.33.0

Must have app !Use it all the time when late for meetings..Version: 1.27

Finegen and frieburgerI only using it to find frieburger and finegen.Version: 3.15

Simple and perfectGlympse does what it's supposed to do, allow others to track your location and speed. My wife loves being able to keep an eye on me when I'm taking a long bike ride, and I like knowing that she's keeping an eye on me in case something should happen. (Even though she once "caught" me taking an unscheduled stop at the local ice cream shop!) Some years ago I got hit by a car while riding and ended up in the E.R. Nobody knew where I was! If I had had Glympse my wife would've known that something was wrong and could've found me..Version: 3.27.2

Practical easy to useMy family use it all the time. Great to know where they are as we travel so much. Highly recommended..Version: 3.35.1

Brilliant app would love to see shortcuts supportImagine being able to start a glympse and put the URL on the clipboard, then send that in a text as part of an iOS 12 shortcut. That would be the icing on the cake for this awesome app.Version: 3.31

Siri support neededThis is an amazing app but it needs support for Siri so one can simply ask Siri to send a Glympse to friends for the location that is input into maps..Version: 3.15

Most revolutionary location based appSoon we won't imagine life without this and the other apps that'll follow. No more "be there soon" texts. Brilliant execution. Well done..Version: 1.25

Sweet appWorks great. Great for clock watchers like myself.Version: 3.4

Disappointing after promising so muchI thought this would be a great app to keep people informed of my whereabouts on a charity hike next year. On the face of it it is just the job. You're able to post by text, email, Twitter and other ways. I like the time out feature so it's not always showing where you are but.... This morning I used it to track a circular walk round a local Beauty spot and all it showed was more or less a straight line. All in all a good app let down by its inaccuracy..Version: 3.12

Great app use it heaps with friends and familyAwesome app love using it.Version: 3.27.0

Constant crashingI used it for a long while it was great. Now it constantly crashes every time I try to use it.Version: 3.33.0

Navigation buttons and editing location namesFirst off, I haven’t used it yet. However, during the setup process, I discovered a couple issues. First, the little itty bitty tiny back arrow is way too small. I’m not someone with giant hands trying to type on an iPhone 3, just an average Joe, using an iPhone X. I found that I have had to attempt to push/tap/mash the back arrow, about 5-10 times before it would go to the previous screen. If I was attempting to see, much less touch the back arrow while driving, I’d end up being some statistic. Please make it bigger and more distinguishable from background color. **Note - I wouldn’t try to use it while driving since my vehicle now recognizes the app. The second issue... In trying to rename a location, I finally discovered that I must hit return on the keyboard, which only makes the keyboard disappear, then I have to try my luck again with the back arrow. How about a “save” or “update” button, which automatically takes you back to the previous screen. Once I actually use it, and if I discover anything else of note, I will update my review. For now, it’s a 4 of 5, based on the hopes that it works as well as all of the previous reviewers have raved about, with the option to increase once issues are addressed..Version: 3.28.0

Family safety is the best feature.My family travels far and wide and Glympse allows us, with their permission, to keep an eye on them. Not spying, just making sure they are safe. Great app and very easy to use..Version: 3.35.7

Let somebody that you choose know where you are.Whether you’re hot air ballooning, out on your motorbike or on the way to friends house for dinner, rather keep asking where you are, send them a Glympse text, takes 20 seconds and then when they’re interested they can tap on it and see where you are now, when you arrive your friends are ready, your wife knows you’re out on your motorbike and okay, just stopped for another cup of tea at a mates house, obviously if you’ve gone to the pub you turn it off! :-)).Version: 3.29.0

UsefulWe use it to organise group bike rides. Works fine :).Version: 3.28.0

Great appThis app is pretty awesome. It’s good to know where a loved one is or them knowing where you are on long trips. Their last update a couple months ago seemed to cause a glitch where the app to not let me past the terms of service page. But deleting and reloading the app fixed that little hiccup. Note: I have to mention the guy whose review said he and his wife love the app. Then he goes on to say how he drops his girlfriend off at the train station in the morning. Haha. Well, his wife must know since they use this Glympse app!! Haha some more..Version: 3.35.3

Stopped working properly...This app used to work flawlessly, but ever since the latest version it doesn't work half the time anymore. I use it with friends, and sometimes it won't update their location unless I ask them to turn the app on again on their phone. If they don't turn it on, the latest update can be 45 minutes ago... What's the point.? Completely ridiculous..Version: 3.0

AmazingA great tool I've used for years on iOS to let friends know where I'm up to when traveling to visit. I wouldn't want to be without it..Version: 3.27.2

GreatLove the shortcut function.Version: 2.03

Great !Seems to work just great . Making sure kids make it to destination on long car trips.Version: 3.9

Simple to useGreat app that works well. Great for my 80 year old parents who now don't ring me multiple times when I go to visit them as they can track me on the iPad and not worry where I am if I am running late..Version: 1.28

Staying in touch and journey progress from start to finishGreat app to allow someone to check your journey progress. Just put in route, share with those you want to and drive. Pretty good on data use too!.Version: 3.31.2

Commuter App for SafetyI commute about 550 miles one way every week. A couple of quick taps and my wife knows where I am at any moment. If something should happen, she’d know right where to send help. This app really gives some peace of mind. It would be great if this integrated into Apple CarPlay though. Would make its use easier (and safer) while driving or motorcycling..Version: 3.35.7

RobUnbelievable Finally somebody made an app that is just what I want. Unbelievably simple, only requires email for app (encrypted) after input. Works flawlessly. I am a pilot, trucker, boater, and this just saved me a ton. Thanks so much. I’d even gladly pay for this..Version: 3.36.2

TopExcellent!.Version: 3.27.2

The best trucking appEasy to use and accurate location.Version: 3.29.0

Where are you ??Great app using it for Hot ai ballooning - Virgin Balloons ground crew !!.Version: 3.36.2

UsefulFound so many uses for this app. Can't do without it..Version: 1.27

Great app and simple to use, love it!What a great app! I am always on the road and constantly get the question from my wife " what time will you be home?" this works everytime and I use it for work and personal. Great job!.Version: 1.24

Just crashesLook it’s a great app and worth getting but how do i delete a contact in it come on guys make it easy and i’ll give you 5 stars.Version: 3.33.0

Love this app, BUT!!I used to use this app a lot, so did the rest of my family. But since I got the iPhone 11 Max Pro, it no longer works on this phone. I hope that it is updated soon.Version: 3.33.0

Love seeing speed of approachFast or slow great to know..Version: 3.33.0

Dark Mode needs workSome text and buttons are illegible in Dark Mode on iOS. For example the ‘Select’ button in Destination setting. Many other places in the app too. For example within Settings it is hard to know which slider is ON and which is OFF. A user has to turn off Dark Mode to see!.Version: 3.33.0

One of the most useful apps aroundBetter than find my friends by a mile, this is a must have app. Send friends and family a Glympse and let them track your progress on the way to their house, or find your buddies without trying to text constantly back and forth. Good bye “Where are you?”.Version: 3.28.0

Missing 1 feature but AWESOME otherwiseTo the developers of this awesome app. I use glympse to let my clients on my limo bus find my location throughout the night. The great part is they don't have to install any apps to use it. It is a web based link they can see me from. The part I wish this app had was a way for them to see their own location on that link, or a way for them to connect their dot to my dot. I often have to park in an area just within walking distance but it gets difficult to describe to them where they are in relation to my location. This would be an amazing feature to include in a future update..Version: 3.30.1

Great so farThis looks and works really well so far. Definitely worth a try. It could really benefit from Push notifications though..Version: 0

Really handyWould be nice if you didn’t have to enter a phone number for account, why not something less intrusive like email..Version: 3.35.2

Great app but needs public transport addedUsed this app for many years and works well in my BMW car but really needs public transport added. Has Car, Bike and Foot when on the train, it's a bit pointless because the route tries to follow a road. When public transport added week get a five star..Version: 3.29.0

Great at just what I have been looking forBeen looking around for an app that lets people track my progress while on route for a while I've found quite a few that hit the mark but this is the best I've see yet My favorite feature is the ability for the tracker not to have to sign up to a service or download an app People are tied of resisting new accounts so that just don't bother Nice work looking forward to see what you come up with next.Version: 3.7

AWESOMEThis is an outstanding app for letting people know where you are when you’re catching up with them, picking them up etc. Or just to know they are safe when travelling..Version: 3.38.6

Love it!Mum always wants to know where we are when we are traveling but can be a bit geographically challenged. It's awesome that she can see where we are in real time and follow along our journey with us..Version: 1.28

How amazing is this toolI would pay $20 for this, great when doing tours , we message our clients to see how far away we are.Version: 3.27.1

Love glimpse!!!Love glimpse. I first started using it for family meet ups. I use it when we’re getting together and there are multiples of us coming together at one location. Makes for easy planning if someone is cooking and needs to know when to pull out the roast... also disable your speed insight. My dad doesn’t need to know how late I am or how fast I drive ;) Additionally, I’ve found its great for airport pick ups, surprise parties and other friend meetings. No one is left waiting. You all know exactly where everyone is at and how fast they’re moving. My only wish is that the recent map view with the dotted line was a bit clearer. It’s hard to immediately see where people are at and what road they’re on..Version: 3.29.0

Very handyI send my wife a Glympse when I go out for a bicycle ride so she can track my location and see that I’m still moving. I didn’t give it 5 stars because I frequently get an “Unable to connect to network” message recently, and I don’t see any reason for it. The phone is getting cellular service when this happens. It also seems to continue sending my location when this is happening..Version: 3.35.7

Still a bit buggy but very useful.One of the most useful apps on my phone But viewing a glympse still requires the user to go through iMessage, then Safari, rather than receiving a push notification straight from the app itself. Bugs, of course, but definitely getting there..Version: 2.03

AwesomeGreat app. I've used for a long time and the latest release is even better than the last. It's great for commuting. Makes me feel safe knowing my partner knows exactly where I am at all times. Awesome!.Version: 2.34

24/7It could be better if it is 24/7 and subject to change or stoped based in user needs. Thanks.Version: 3.31

AwesomeVery handy app, my wife now knows when I am heading home in case I get stuck in traffic, or lost or head to the pub for a beer. Lol..Version: 3.30.1

Handy.I use this to send my husband a quick update on where I'm located. Handyif I'm running late..Version: 3.8

ExcellentWe use Glympse when on endurance events, so that our Children can track our progress, it gets them involved in the event and lessens the boredom for them..Version: 3.33.0

Yes!!Worked perfectly for my 3G iPod touch and my iPod touch 4G running on a MiFi and when watching my partner run around the south. Still great on my 6S. Reoccurring bugs here and there, but nothing to impede me - or my opinion on how much I still enjoy this app - thanks to some skillful prodding. Reoccurring is a hint here, techs. But I still love ya ;).Version: 3.30.1

TimGlimpse isn’t working on my iPhone 8 iOS version 12.4 It needs fixing urgently!.Version: 3.33.0

Great 👍Recommend monitoring and track suspected cheating wive and activities at work. However this great app couldn’t grant all access I needed to detect and catch my wife red handed in her deceptive ways. It all started when I had a suspicion on her with some recently inherited behavior like staying out late nights after work, being clingy to her phones and so on. I came to the internet to find a lasting solution to solve my marital problems. Thank God, faz came my way after checking through positive reviews , how he helped a woman catch her cheating husband red handed. I reached him via his mail at targetspytech (@) gmailcom and he requested for certain info such as my spouses phone number and phone model. Within hrs I got a notification popped up on my phone it was from Faz. he gave me a spy link which I accessed with my phone web browser there I was able to see all of his texts, call logs, WhatsApp, deleted conversation, social media shared pictures and videos etc as if I got his phone in my palms. It’s really a great opportunity to use the services of targetspytech (@) gmailcom, if you got similar issues right now I’ll strongly advice you write him for an excellent spying and tracking services. This is the most highly recommended and genuine services that works efficiently than the spy apps. You can tex him on WhatsApp at (plus one eight five six five seven five one zero seven nine).Version: 3.35.6

Very useful but there is always room for improvementVery useful - would good to have an option to chose how often one position is updated say every 5 minutes would be adequate and save battery.Version: 1.21

Awsome conceptThis app would be amazingly usefull, if I could use it! Not available in Canada? Seriously, enough of that!.Version: 0

ExcellentI use this app all the time. It's so handy for when I'm picking my partner up from work. He can see if I'm stuck in traffic and just stay inside a bit longer..Version: 2.29

Beats the competitionEasy to use - pick people, time limit, send! Safe - decide who and when someone sees you, and focus on driving rather than updating. Universal - not tied to any one device or OS, just need Internet and a browser. Use this all the time with my friends. A bit if a battery drain for GPS, but worth it!.Version: 2.15

So handy!No more sending multiple texts trying to explain where you are..Version: 2.23

FrustratingWhen I first started using this app I liked it but over time it’s become more frustrating because when I try to share my location or request it only works half the time. I keep resending in settings with WiFi or without and yet I get same result from multiple locations. I rebooted my phone and checked for app updates by my version was current. I’m about ready to seek another option because this is an important tool for me and my family..Version: 3.31

BrilliantLets me have dinner on the table just as my girlfriend walks through the door. Shows speed, route, estimated time. Works via SMS in Australia too. Doesn't seem to automatically open the app any more, settling on the safari browser instead and requiring intervention from the user to have a Glympse appear in the app..Version: 2.15

Wonderful app, but ...I’ve used Glympse for a few years, but since upgraded to iPhone 11 it no longer works and there is no update. I hope this is resolved soon.Version: 3.33.0

Indispensable if you travel a lot and have a familyI’m frequently on the road and it gives my family piece of mind to be able to see where I’m at. More reliable than iMessage location sharing and accessible to any device or computer with internet access. My only gripe is that the UI is pretty confusing. Could be a lot simpler..Version: 3.27.2

Not a fan of the recent updatesWe have used Glympse for several years as a surveillance team. It has been great up until the recent update. The large bubble icon and the blue tracking lines that follow every team member have made it more difficult to use. Please offer an option to remove the blue lines. Other than that Glympse has been a great tool for us to keep track of one another while working..Version: 3.38.5

Good Tracking AppWorks well, easy to use, permissions granted through a link from text, email, or social media brings you to a website to view real time map that lags by only a few seconds due to network. Seems to ping every 5 seconds which is pretty good for my purposes. Only wish is that it would simultaneously show my own location when tracking another phone..Version: 3.33.0

GlympseDoes exactly what it says. So far no problems..Version: 2.38

Great app. Please allow deletion of recipientsThis app has been a great help on numerous occasions. However, it needs a function to delete recipients please. You can add more to the list, but cannot delete..Version: 3.36.2

Cool appPerfect little gps tracking app!! Need a little tweaking like to be able to edit and re save favourites and the time to view. Other then that, it's a great free product..Version: 3.15

Great for carpooling aand festivals.Great for knowing when my carpool is arriving, and for finding people at festivals or meeting up walking around town..Version: 2.15

Obsessed!I am obsessed with this app. It holds me accountable. I will say “yes. I’m on my way. Walking out the door....” 30 minutes later—> I ACTUALLY walk out the door. But with Glympse, I share my location and destination with someone and tell them I am on my way and I actually go because they can see if I haven’t. It also helps that it’s MY idea. No one forcing me into accountability. It’s good stuff.Version: 3.27.1

UsefulI use this app to augment the Find Friends native app for friends without iPhones or for those who I’m not sharing locations with on the regular. A very strange side use of the app was to determine my speed when the speedometer in my car stopped working (and the only caveat to that is that I wish I could increase the font size of the speed reading).Version: 3.27.1

Just greatGreat, I said!.Version: 2.18

Almost perfectOk so I love this app and use it so much, thank you! But I'm leaving this review for one reason, PLEASE LET US CHOOSE MORE THAN 4 HOURS FOR A TRIP DIRATION! I know your FAQ says it's due to battery but I always use it in the car, in a charging car kit, and sometimes I drive 15 hours in a day. It's dangerous (and not easy while driving to extend the trip) and if you let it expire you have to send everyone a new Glympse, which confuses some people. Please consider it! I gave you 5 stars in anticipation :).Version: 3.10

Super App with occasional hiccupsLove 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. 2021 Update My old review above had a request 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..Version: 3.35.3

One of the best locations apps aroundSuch a good app to use when you want to just let a friend know you’re on the way, but don’t want them to have access to your location for any longer periods of time. I use it with my riding group and love it! Great job guys..Version: 3.31.2

Quick. WorksI like this. I have a couple of on-bike alternatives such as Strava beacon or Garmin live-track but this is quick, easy and just works. The only quibble I had was time and route estimates were a bit off considering I ride mostly... latest update includes transport mode :-).Version: 3.26.0

Better alternative to google latitude.Great little app that allows your friends and family to see where you are. Say if your Picking them up they can see when you have turned onto their street and make your way out the front. I use this all the time! Also if you are letting friends and family knowing if you have arrived to your location. Only problem is you need to have your iPhone/iPad connected up to power as with all Location services APPs..Version: 1.18

Excellent appWorks instantly. The other side doesn't need the app, just a browser. It's integrated into my GPS navigation App Navigon and works great from there too!.Version: 2.29

I've glympsed perfection!This is a brilliant app - exactly what I've been looking for. A great way to temporarily share your location when you're on the way to meet someone without permanently letting people spy on you. The ETA function is really useful for your friends/family so they know almost exactly when to expect you and know how when to put the kettle on :) I can't really fault it! Ps: I cannot understand why so many people are buying this app, then complaining that it does *exactly* what it claims to do (share your location) and regard it as an invasion of their privacy!! If you regard sharing your location as an invasion of your privacy, then don't install and use this location sharing app!.Version: 2.14

Great when meeting peopleWe have travelled to meet strangers when buying or selling something. Often we meet halfway and Glympse is a great tool for each knowing where the other is and the time each of you will arrive..Version: 3.27.1

Almost there...Great tracking app in that there's no need for the other person to have downloaded the app and no awkward codes via email. (It uses SMS). I like the selection of duration as I have sometimes forgotten to cancel tracking and used up heaps of battery & data in the process. The only drawbacks: It uses Apple Maps which is a terrible, third class mapping service. Please switch to Google Maps. Secondly? There are moderately frequent drop outs where the location is not updated for many minutes for the person following someone. The tracking aspect could therefore be a little more polished..Version: 2.17
