Zoom Level

Please give users a setting for the zoom level that is used when we "lock" / focus on someones Glympse! Right now, if we zoom-out the map after focusing on a target, the target doesnt stay centered! But then re-focusing on the target zooms the map back in!

iOS 10 incompatible

Any attempt to make a request instantly crashes the app, rendering it useless to me.

Neat idea, execution missed the mark

I like the idea of this. Its cool when it works. Super buggy to zoom. Also when someone needs to "refresh" or add time for the other to see their location it just stops working for the most part, which renders the app worthless.

GPS - No "While Using"

Great app. but the hold back is the Location privacy options. Theres no ability to select "While Using."

Worked great before but now its JUNK

Worked great before but now its JUNK and outright dangerous to operate while driving. Do not waste your time on this.

Why does it install in Spanish?

Interface is in spanish

Receiving glimpse doesnt work!

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

Third (or fourth or fifth) times the charm!!

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.

Great app!

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!

Everyone Loves It

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.

Wish time windows could be longer

Love the interface, but wish locations could be set for more than four hours.

We use it a lot with family

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.

Stops Updating Location

The app is great when it works. But, it sometimes stops updating the location and doesnt restart.

Terrible App

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.

Flying high

With GLYMPSE and GoGo!!!

Pretty good but...

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 (hiking/walking/train/small plane,etc)

Love it but..

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.

Super useful

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.

4 hour max time limit too low

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.

Creepy

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.
