Does not seem to be actively maintained. ### 2/5 — Updates cause total deletion of widgets contents *2023-09-07, version 2.5* I tried this app for one reason - to add four webcam links to my phone screen. This app does a beautiful job of it. We have a local ferry system that requires a lineup and we use the webcam links to check on the current wait/lineup. Having the widgets purged every update is the showstopper unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Suffers from random data loss *2023-06-25, version 2.5* Great app when it works, but loses all websites and settings at random. Happened twice now ### 2/5 — Only good for sometimes *2023-06-05, version 2.5* It is quite good initially. After sometimes, it just did not show the field from the website which is updated daily. Quite sad actually, given I am very satisfied at the beginning. ### 3/5 — Great app but updates reset the links *2023-05-17, version 2.5* Each update causes the links to reset and requires having to setup the links and widgets again. Could you please looking into this? Thanks! 🙏 ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2023-02-27, version 2.5* No longer displays website and does not keep the site I add to list. ### 2/5 — Crucial widget! But settings won't stick *2023-01-09, version 2.5* When I try to edit the settings on the widget, they don't stick. So I cannot remove the bottom bar, change the refresh rate, or anything like that. ### 2/5 — Good idea but bit broken *2022-12-26, version 2.5* Found this app during an online search, did what I needed it to for a bit and now webpages I put in the list don’t stick they keep disappearing whenever I try to select them to display so I am a bit disappointed currently. ### 4/5 — Полезное, но глючное *2022-11-11* Иногда внезапно сбрасывает виджеты. Даже если опять в приложении их настроить — виджеты сбрасываются и из приложения удаляются. Помогает только полное удаление и повторная установка приложения 😒😒😒😒 ### 3/5 — Не работает *2022-10-29* Надеюсь, вы прочли отзыв перед оплатой. Я нет, увы ### 3/5 — Порой все слетает *2022-10-29* Приложение супер, но порой (раз в 1-2 недели) все слетает, все сайты удаляются, виджеты становятся "пустыми" и невозможно добавить сайт - он сразу удаляется после добавления. Приходится удалять приложение и заново устанавливать и все настраивать ### 2/5 — Fails to remember positioning *2022-02-22, version 2.5* Never stays in the cropped area I keep positioning it at; keeps resetting to top left of page. It’s infuriating. ### 2/5 — Not working from today *2022-01-30* I was very happy with the app: building widgets with websites, great idea! However, since today glimpse does not save any websites I add (even my previous ones I added) so the app doesn’t work anymore. Will reuse the app with pleasure if the problem is resolved. ### 4/5 — Love the idea *2021-12-02, version 2.1.1* Seems like you guys are the few people that had this ingenious idea. It would be nice if we had the ability to scroll down the page or custom views that automatically change. RSS feed widgets for blogs would be really cool as well if that’s possible. ### 3/5 — Не работает с вводом логина и пароля *2021-04-28* Хотел использовать для мониторинга, но увы не работает( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — There is no widget *2023-10-09* I thought this app was supposed to be a widget for my Home Screen. I went into the app and added a website but there is no widget for this app in the list of widgets when I tap the + on my Home Screen. I’m not sure if this is a bug but it seems like a pretty major oversight for an app who’s whole purpose is Home Screen widgets. ### 1/5 — unhappy with the performance of this widget *2023-08-15, version 2.5* Really really unhappy with the performance of this widget. Once I set it up, invariably, within 24 hours, the website literally just disappears and the widget says I have to pick a URL. When it is being set up, the small window size set up does not match up with what I’ve set after I go back and save it. I have to scroll the square window around to some other area to have it actually show what I want on the final home screen. Been playing with this now for more than two weeks on a daily basis. It never works right for longer than a few hours or a day if I could even get it set up to look like what I want onscreen ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-05-08, version 2.5* This app used to work great. Now, the entire list of sites in the app gets deleted whenever you try to actually use and set a widget. Really disappointing. ### 1/5 — Useless for login pages *2022-04-14, version 2.5* While the idea is great, it fails to work when I need to display a page that requires login. Even if I setup the app with the url and login information, the widget fails to load that information. Useless for my usecase. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2022-01-18* Белый экран когда виджет ставишь. А так же нельзя выбрать зону сохраняя пропорции. Почему-то вертикальный режим узкий ### 1/5 — Didn’t work :/ *2022-01-03, version 2.5* Was excited to see this for a use case I had in mind but it didn’t save the scroll position properly and then didn’t load most of the time. Could be the app, could be a limitation of widgets, I dunno. ### 1/5 — Был любимым виджетом, но перестал работать *2021-08-15* Очень было удобно следить за обновлениями новостей на сайте, но последнее время виджет перестал работать: добавляешь сайт, а он не добавляется. ### 1/5 — Gut gemeint, schlecht umgesetzt *2021-06-06* Der in der App ausgewählte Ausschnitt wird nicht im Widget angezeigt. Außerdem lassen sich bestimmte Elemente nicht im Widget darstellen. ### 1/5 — Huge flaw of the app *2021-04-12* Your selections will not show up. Time waste! Some time Its became blank.. ### 1/5 — Super Idee *2021-03-06* Leider wird nichts im Widget angezeigt, schade ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pls make work *2024-10-31, version 2.5* This was going to be so fun to have for the election but it doesn’t work. Great idea and can’t give a low rating for a small developer. Pls fix ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-31, version 2.5* Great app! One question: is it possible to change the font size of the website in the widget? Thanks a lot. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what I want *2023-01-03, version 2.5* It displays a preview of a page perfectly for me. The only limitation is apple where they restrict the widget to be certain sizes. Otherwise it’s perfect. ### 5/5 — Fantastic idea and app *2022-02-20, version 2.5* My use case was I wanted to display a Google Sheets chart on my iPhone, so I published the sheet to the web and this app displays it perfectly. My only feedback to the dev, is it should update/refresh the page/screenshot when the user taps on the chart. Right now you can only specify a 15 min, 1 hour, etc refresh rate. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App - Works greater for webdev projects *2022-01-09, version 2.5* This app is great and I used it in a recent webdev project ### 5/5 — Pretty Cool Workaround *2021-10-03, version 2.1.1* Nice work! Where there's a will, there's a way. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT App *2021-06-08, version 2.1.1* AWESOME! This is exactly what I needed. I travel a lot and needed a widget to show me various time zones at a “glimpse.” Like some have stated in their reviews, I would like to be able to resize/crop the widget area if possible in a future update. Keep up the great work, I donated and will continue to support your work. 💯 ### 5/5 — Found it. Used it. Gladly tipped *2020-12-24, version 2.1.1* Thanks for making an easy to find and use app! ### 5/5 — Useful *2020-11-02, version 2.1.1* I love that you can set what part of the screen you want on the widget. Would like to see a smal widget. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-10-16, version 2.1.1* Really useful, well crafted, enables me to monitor my webpage for changes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
