3.6.3

March 8, 2024

Everywhere gets the polish — those are the rules. Remember those speed updates from a week or two ago that was like, “Oh, woah.”? This is the last of those “oh, woah” speed updates. Now all the little corners of the app are as speedy as the main feed. Tip top shape. Even squashed a bug or two with the widget? Perfect. Now off to finish Series.

3.6.1

February 15, 2024

Okay, so this was going to be about how we updated the G in the app icon and switched to yellow as our default. And maybe about how we fixed the last remaining Share Sheet bugs and it’s back to working incredibly across iPhone and iPad. But then we made one of the final changes to our backend in preparation for Series and the app is… so much faster. Like woah. Glass for Web too. So. Enjoy that! Speed! Scroll! We’ll wait for you — just update and go check it out.

3.6.0

January 30, 2024

This is one of those big releases that we spent months on that, if all goes according to plan, you won’t notice a thing. If you do notice a thing, uhhhh… send us an email. Or a toot. Or a skeet. Or a thread. Or a DM. But not a tweet, we left that place ages ago.

3.5.4

December 14, 2023

Another photography tip? Sure thing. Stop trying to show us everything. (The Royal Us, your audience, friends, family, self.) Leave something to the imagination. The photos we love the most are mysteries.

3.5.3

November 10, 2023

BOLD STATEMENT INCOMING — We fixed the Share Sheet. We think. Pretty sure. Almost certainly. 100%. We’ve spent the last few weeks doing a deep dive on why it was broken and we found the main root cause and, well, now it’s way more stable and great. So give it a go, upload a photo or nine from Photos, Lightroom, Darkroom, VSCO, Snapseed — you get it, anywhere.

3.5.2

October 26, 2023

Wanted more photography tips, so you’re getting them. Put something in the way of your lens. It immediately adds depth. Layering! It’s good. Your photos deserve to have some layers — it’s fall after all.
More

3.5.1

October 18, 2023

If you notice all five (5) of the small visual improvements and bugs we fixed in this release, we’ll buy you a pizza. But they’re small. So it’d be a personal pan pizza.
More

3.5

October 11, 2023

We’ve got our new updated Explore feed — it’s AI-powered and incredible. We’ve got a new widget size for iPad — big. We’ve got a widget that works in Standby mode now — start your morning off right. We’ve got a widget that works on Sonoma now — bringing your widgets to your desktop. We’ve got bug fixes for new lil bugs that popped up with the latest iOS — our fault, not theirs. We’ve got bug fixes for long standing bugs around type sizes — finally. We’ve got things — we’re telling you about them.

Reviews of Glass

  • Wasted Potential So Far

    If the curators don’t follow you, you may as not well bother - there’s a lot of evidence that there’s an “in” group - if you’re not in that “in” group, or if you don’t immediately cater to their specific tastes (and I believe there are only like, 2 curators so tons of room for bias for sure), then you’ll basically get no discovery. Very difficult to find other people you like as well, that goes both ways.

    I’m not a big fan of algorithms, but relying on such a small team of curators who seem to have conflicts of interest isn’t a great solution, either. And if you don’t post often, good luck getting seen by a larger group of people because the timeline feed is a slog to go through. If you want an audience, you have to be as addicted to this app as you would with Instagram.
  • THE Best

    Now that I have seen how a real photography community and sharing app works I will never go back to Instagram, Threads, X or any other influencer driven, algorithm run platform again.

    I am not a professional photographer, it’s more of a hobby and bit of therapy for me. It is nice to be able to follow those that are and not be force fed advertisements. Glass seems to have a well rounded community interacting with one another instead of engagement farming post designed to be seen by the algorithm. So happy to not have to constantly see the annoying fake “I am following every photographer that follows me” type of stuff.

    I enjoy being able to see the equipment and settings that someone has used for their photo. I am currently in the market for some new lenses, it has been nice to select the lenses I am interested in and be able to quickly see what photos others have taken with them to help in my decision process.

    I really enjoy having the public profile that anyone can access through the web without having the app or their own subscription. If I want to have a portfolio to share with someone that option is there and can also be turned off/on.

  • Terrific platform.

    I came and went early-on through the Glass world…but eventually came back and stayed. Love the platform. It has subtly and quietly lifted me out of the world of followers and likes and algorithms such that I post and share and expect nothing more than getting my work out there—and, along the way, have built, and am building, a nice little network of like-minded image makers. It’s my new online photographic home.
