Useless

2022-05-21

Tried Glympse 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 Glympse 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, Glympse has never located my phone closer than a quarter of a mile out of the 30+ towns and cities I’ve tried it in. Glympse is absolute junk.

Useful but poorly designed

2022-06-22

First 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 this app 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..

Not what it was in the beginning....

2022-07-23

I travel frequently for work and for the last several months there has been issues with this app. 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 Glympse 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 this app is suffering badly.

Not as good as it used to be

2022-08-24

I 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, Glympse 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???

A1+ APP ❤️

2022-09-25

Glympse definitely helps to keep tab on love ones and family members but the work of such tracking apps is usually limited because you always need to access the device you want to keep tabs on in order for the tracking app to work effectively. My question is, if I can access the device I want to hack, why would I need it hacked? But I understand we hack devices due to different intentions and to recover some informations that must have been deleted or kept from being easily seen. The device will need to be intercepted or completely cloned at times. Infidelity causes a lot of trauma that might be very difficult to cope with if you don’t have an account of what is really going down with your spouse when you aren’t together. If you keep getting these signs it’s most likely to be true your spouse is cheating. That’s not the end of life anyway, you can make a choice that suite you and be to your advantage for something like that to never repeat itself. For anyone that find themselves in this situation, what you need do is contact a private ethical hacker ‘ anonymousjoehacker @ gmailcom ‘ for any reasonable proof before you confront your cheating partner about infidelity. His services are highly rated and affordable. Regardless whether your problem is personal or commercial he will help you, put your worry aside and give yourself a peace of mind you deserve. I’m a witness to this hacker helpful services, he is simply the best.

Navigation buttons and editing location names

2022-10-26

First 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 Glympse .

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.

Love it but want more from it

2022-11-27

Love it as a fast secure location sharing app but when using it through iMessage I don’t like that you have to have Glympse 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 this app. Hope you guys can make Glympse more streamlined in the future otherwise I’m pretty happy with the product so thanks 👍

Love glimpse!!!

2022-12-28

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.

Great location sharing app

2023-01-29

Glympse 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 this app on-the-fly if I forget to send one before I leave wherever I am at.

Frustrating

2023-03-02

When I first started using Glympse 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.

Setting up group

2023-03-31

Location 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 Glympse 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.

Great app

2023-05-02

Glympse 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 Glympse to not let me past the terms of service page. But deleting and reloading Glympse fixed that little hiccup.

Note: I have to mention the guy whose review said he and his wife love Glympse . 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 this app app!! Haha some more.

It good

2023-06-02

I love Glympse 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 Glympse.

Missing 1 feature but AWESOME otherwise

2023-07-04

To the developers of this awesome app.
I use this app 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 Glympse 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.

Great app. Makes me feel safe

2023-08-04

I 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 Glympse he could have looked and sent help immediately. If you drive a lot of backroads, country roads Glympse is an absolute necessity. If you have teenagers that just started driving, Glympse is a necessity.

Amazing app

2023-09-05

My whole family has iPhones and we still use and love this app 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 this app 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! 😂)

Simple and perfect

2023-10-07

this app 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 this app my wife would've known that something was wrong and could've found me.

Safe travels

2023-11-07

At first I felt like this app 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 this app 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, this app shows them where we are. God forbid something happens to us on the road, someone can see where we are.

Informative for clients

2023-12-09

I love using Glympse 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 Glympse thank you!!

I 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 Glympse, I’m glad my parents didn’t have Glympse when I was younger and dating!

We used this app 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 Glympse even shows me how fast they were going and a estimated hours & minutes until arrival. So helpful! Thanks this app team; most excellent app.
