Confused

I tried to change my [at]@ handle to something other than a string of random text and numbers and saw a ‘saved’ message after doing so.

But after saving the random string of text and numbers stayed as my handle.

I tried to back out of the profile ‘edit’ area and didn’t find any navigation buttons or ‘swipe’ options that let me do so.

Force closed app and re-opened.

I tried using the in-app AI to figure out how I could change or actually update my @handle and the AI freaked out.
I understand that I wasn’t asking a pre-formatted question and that was probably the reason the AI couldn’t give me an answer.

BUT: IF you’re going to call something an AI and it can’t do more than a basic search function offered inside any app, and not thin outside the ‘box’ or app, then is it really an AI, or just a glorified search box?

Then I couldn’t escape the AI search function, had to close and re-open the app and saw that my Fort Knox @handle still remained.

Am I doing something wrong?

I appreciate that the app is free.
But ‘free’ is a huge pothole that’s going to kill you when it promised to be a paved road.

Details matter. Maybe more than anything else.

Response from developer

Thank you for writing this out in detail. All three things you hit are real, and none of them were you doing something wrong. The handle not saving was a bug. It is fixed and will ship in an upcoming update, so it is not in the build you have yet. When it lands, changing your @handle will save and stay saved. You were also right that there was no way back out of the profile edit screen. That one is not fixed yet. It is written down and we will get to it. On the in-app AI, your criticism is fair. It is built to answer from the content you have saved, not to act as a general assistant for questions about the app itself, and it should never have trapped you with no way out. We will fix the no-exit part, and we will be clearer about what it is for. Calling something AI and then having it fall over on a plain question is on us, not on you for asking it. If the handle still will not change after the next update, or anything else goes sideways, write to hi[at]glasp.co and we will sort it out directly.

Stole Money and don’t reply

I downloaded this app and then forgot about it. Next thing you know, they’ve been charging me a monthly fee since June, it’s now the middle of February. When I go into the account, it says I’m on free. So why are they charging me. I’ve sent emails and no one‘s bothered to get back to me. I would be very careful. I am very disappointed and feel super ripped off.

This has been refunded. We should have told you that directly instead of leaving your emails unanswered, and that part is on us. For anyone reading this, here is how the billing works. The plan and the price are shown before you confirm, auto renewal is part of the terms you agree to at that point, and the payment is verified at the time of purchase. Nothing starts quietly in the background, and you can cancel at any time from your account settings. If a charge of your own does not look right, write to hi[at]glasp.co and we will look into it with you.

Highlight to learn

Using it to learn the Quran on a deeper level by comparing and contrasting how various translators translate The Words of Allah subhanahu wata'ala.

Response from developer

Comparing how different translators render the same passage is exactly the kind of reading Glasp is built for, and this is one of the best uses of it we have heard. Thank you for sharing it.

Dog **** app

Doesn’t even grab a transcript from YouTube. There’s plenty of better read later apps out there. I would like to see a way for YouTube videos to be shared to the glass app where the transcript and maybe ai tools like summary or queries are available. Being then able to export with title original link whatever else to a notes app?!??

Love the app

Amazing! They add more features to the iOS mobile app!

Response from developer

Thank you, this means a lot to a small team. If there is anything you want Glasp to do that it does not do yet, hi[at]glasp.co reaches us directly.

Pretty good highlighting app

Decent syncing across platforms.

Only problem is that it is sometimes buggy and can’t highlight certain words or combinations of words on iOS and iPadOS

Please look into this, thank you

Great app

Great innovative app

The app got me through uni. Constantly reading research articles and knowing everything I’ve highlighted can be found in one place and organised. Worked flawlessly on my MacBook. When using it on my iPad unfortunately it’s got a few hiccups. Sometimes it works on safari & often doesn’t work. Sometimes it highlights notes & sometimes just stops working or won’t sign me in. But it works flawlessly on my MacBook. Thank you for creating such a cool app, please keep it going

Iphone老机型

我用的是iPhone7的手机,无法升级到IOS16,你们能否提供能支持老机型的APP?

Response from developer

感谢您的反馈,也让您久等了。 Glasp iOS 版目前需要 iOS 15.1 或以上。iPhone 7 可以升级到 iOS 15,因此现在应该可以正常使用了。 如果安装或使用时遇到问题,请写信到 hi[at]glasp.co 并告诉我们具体的错误信息,我们会协助您。
