Glympse is an app that lets you temporarily share your real-time location with family, friends, co-workers and more. It visually answers the question, “Where are you?” Glympse gives people and businesses power to share real-time locations safely, securely and temporarily, regardless of what type of mobile device they all have.

The app uses the GPS capability in your mobile phone to let you share your location in one of two ways:
Via a web-based map for a predetermined period with anyone you choose who does not have the Glympse app
Within the Glympse app for a predetermined period for those who, like you, have the Glympe app downloaded.

Sharing your location with someone is referred to as "sending a Glympse." A Glympse goes out as a link via text message. When recipients click on the Glympse link they can view your location on a map in real-time using any web-enabled device for as long as you choose to share with them.

Send a Glympse to let friends know you are on your way to meet them. Request a Glympse from a colleague who is running late to a meeting. Set up a Glympse Tag with your biking club. Create a Glympse Premium Tag for an upcoming local Santa parade. Those you share with can view your Glympse from any web-enabled device, no sign-up or app required.

Glympse is the pioneer of location-sharing. Since 2008, we have been providing solutions that offer communication between the right people at the right time when it matters most. Our solutions operate successfully with minimal data retention, and by default, we do not keep data, nor do we harvest or sell it.

Features
Glympse Private Groups
Glympse Private Groups is a feature in Glympse that creates a private, invite-only Group. You give members control over who can be a member. All members of a Group can share their location and request the location of other members – all visible only to those in the Group. Private Groups are ideal for sharing with family, carpools, sporting teams, groups of friends and more.

Glympse Tags
Glympse Tags is a feature in Glympse that allows you to quickly view and share location with multiple friends on a single, shared Glympse map. Glympse Tags are public spaces (similar to Twitter/X hash tags) where anyone who knows the Tag name can view the tag map and add themselves to that map. When you view a tag map, what you are seeing is a map of people who have chosen to join the tag map (example: !SmithFamilyReunion or !SeattleCyclingClub).

Glympse Premium Tags
Glympse Premium Tags is our premium offering in Glympse that provides customization options to personalize and brand the Glympse experience. You can create a one-of-a-kind experience by uploading your logo and branding, map out certain routes you plan to make stops at, as well as other branding elements. Glympse Premium Tags is ideal for events such as community parades, Santa parades, food trucks, marathons, and so much more.

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.
