Pros and cons of Glympse -Share your location app for iPhone and iPad

Glympse -Share your location app good for

But bad point for long trip, it is impossible to set Glympse duration more than 4 hours.
We use this up for hot air ballooning, but have started to use it more more when I want to find a friend. Very simple to use noninvasive will conceived.
Its a very nice and useful application. However it would be really perfect if we were able to send the link via other messaging applications (like WhatsApp ? :)) rather than just via SMS. This is the only reason why Im not giving 5 stars... for now ;)
One of the most useful applications. You can share your location very easily and your friends can see your location in any web browser. The new version was completely redesigned and is MUCH better.
One feature its missing is the ability to send the Glympse link thru WhatsApp, Facebook Mesaenger and other services like those. It kills the beauty of the app when we need to manually paste the link in those services. Not to say its very unintuitive. Other than that, its an amazing app.
Share my position becames a simple task I can my position with anyone i want anytime

Some bad moments

Its rubbish. Unreliable, inconsistent, drops out, people arrive when you think they are twenty minutes away... I mean, nobody wants that.
they need to change the UI so its more seamless and make the flow more logical. This app is really annoying to use
This app used to work flawlessly, but ever since the latest version it doesnt work half the time anymore. I use it with friends, and sometimes it wont update their location unless I ask them to turn the app on again on their phone. If they dont turn it on, the latest update can be 45 minutes ago... Whats the point.? Completely ridiculous.
This app used to work well, Not anymore, it rarely works correctly, always stops tracking. Doesnt work more often than it works! I recommend you find another app!
I still use iOS 8.x, and ever since last update, it crashes and cannot even open. I hope they fix it, as I dont want to get iOS 9, as it slows down my iPad too much...
Horrible app. Cant figure anything out. Interface with s not user friendly. Do not download. Waste of time.
