### 3/5 — Will not let me login to my Twitter

*2019-01-07*

Has a little variety to choose from but can’t log in to my Twitter account or any account that requires a login.Is there a way to work around this?

### 2/5 — Not working

*2018-11-07, version 1.2.2*

All channels Not working , please fix it. 
Thanks

### 2/5 — Not working

*2018-10-26, version 1.2.2*

Not working

### 3/5 — Good in principle

*2018-01-17*

Not great in practice. Convoluted to set up, and it keeps loading up my camera roll with watch faces. Don’t find it overly useful either.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-03-19*

Great idea for an app - look forward to being able to follow other feeds such as instagram and Facebook.  I always forget to check Twitter so this is a great way to keep an eye on Twitter updates

### 1/5 — Do not use!!

*2017-03-05*

I downloaded this app and to be honest it's the biggest load of rubbish I've seen. Why apple have allowed it on App Store I really don't know. It fills your photo album with thumbnails. It won't allow you to delete the app off your iwatch no matter how many times you press delete.
Do not down load utter rubbish!!!

### 2/5 — No

*2017-02-20*

The hacked me their LOSERS no stars

### 3/5 — A Nice Concept but a Storage Eater

*2017-01-30*

A good and quick way to browse places like Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, and more. But takes WAY too much storage. On the first day of using this app, I had about 100+ photos on my phone created. It's annoying. I'd give this a two star review but don't want to be too critical since I like the concept of the app.

### 3/5 — Ótima  ideia ! Aplicativo muito bom.

*2017-01-19*

Entretanto, necessita evoluir na questão de armazenamento das fotos, ocupa muito espaço no celular. A configuração inicial poderia ser automática, parece gambiarra. Talvez seja.  🙄

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2017-01-07*

A. There's only a limited number of choices to receive updates on. 
B. In the 10 minutes I had it on my phone, it added almost 100 images to my phone...umm no, I need that storage space 😒

### 2/5 — Good try, but no

*2016-12-29*

Like the other reviewer, I appreciate what the developers are trying to do. The Apple Watch can only deliver short bursts of info, and I wish there were more apps that delivered a usable newsfeed. But this model uploads every single headline as a picture that winds up in my Camera Roll and Photostream. After half a day there were hundreds. Since I'm not prepared to give up my the use of my photo albums, I'm uninstalling Glimpse. Too bad.

### 3/5 — Good concept

*2016-12-24*

I like the idea of this app, and the execution isn't bad. The problem for me is that since it first downloads the photo that's shown on the watch to your photo app, it results in a flood of unwanted images being uploaded to my iCloud albums, Dropbox, Google Photos, etc. It does this as long as the app is installed, whether it is the synced album or not, and I found that deleting the cache still doesn't get rid of the photos in my albums and backups.  I haven't figured out a good way around this yet, so until I do, or until the way it handles the photos changes, I uninstalled it. I like the idea, and if I didn't have to continually purge my albums and backups of unwanted photos, I would probably use it.

### 3/5 — So near yet so far

*2016-11-21*

This app is so promising. The Apple Watch lacks a good news app with a sensible main complication and this comes tantalisingly close.

The only problem (and it is a big problem) is that it shows the last x tweets as photos (which are superbly used as pictures in the Photo Album watch face). If the app could delete these photos once I've seen them (essentially marking the tweets as read) and then only show unread tweets/pictures, then this would be my watch face and Glimpse would be my go-to app. But it doesn't, so I don't. And I only keep it on my watch in hope that this upgrade will come one day.

### 1/5 — really poor implementation

*2016-11-05*

only Nat geo shows on watch and refuses to update even after setting other content repeatedly, even after powering off watch and watch plus phone. deleted app. there are good ones but this isnt one of them

### 4/5 — Excellent!

*2016-09-29*

Innovative use of current watch software. Looking forward to see where the app will go in the future :)

Thanks

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-07-30*

It doesn’t even sync with my Apple Watch, I don’t know if you need a certain model but they should tell me before I spend all my time trying to do it

### 1/5 — instructions don’t currently work. Apple Watch 3 with XR with new OSes

*2021-11-28*

I am finding the instructions don’t currently work/it’s impossible to follow step two. 
Apple Watch 3 with XR with new OSes. 
Step two is to select the “photo album” watchface.I scroll through all of them and there’s no such thing. There’s “Photos” but they’re saying no that’s not what we’re supposed to two so I’m stuck. I was able to follow step one.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-12-14*

Will say “last updated less than a minute ago” in the app but no photos are added to the Glimpse album on my phone, and nothing shows up on the watch except for the initial test picture to check if it was set up correctly.

### 1/5 — Not syncing

*2019-11-22, version 1.2.2*

Is this app still supported? It is not syncing anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-03-31*

This doesn’t work, won’t log into 500xp and Pinterest and the ones I do have as on nothing on my watch.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2019-01-30, version 1.2.2*

Unable to load channels, app doesn't work!

### 1/5 — Can’t log into Twitter and can’t get images from channels...

*2018-11-13*

Can’t log into Twitter and can’t get images from channels...

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht! Doesnˋt Work!

*2018-10-29*

Trotz mehrfacher Neuinstallation funktioniert die App nicht. Die Idee ist gut aber habe die App wieder deinstalliert. Schade.

Tried several times but the App didnˋt work. Good idea but deinstalled the App. Sad.

### 1/5 — UNABLE TO LOGIN TWITTER

*2018-06-28*

THE APP IS NOT LOGGING TO TWITTER

### 5/5 — Dopezz

*2018-03-04*

Dope app just figuring it out but so far so good.

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2017-10-13*

Wow an app that seriously makes me change how I use social media and take in news. Gives a breath of fresh air into my social accounts. Get great overview of feeds on the watch and can even save stuff for later so I can share/read/repost.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2016-11-23*

Very nice app

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2016-10-06*

Another app that makes the watch worthwhile

### 5/5 — Best Apple Watch app!!

*2016-10-02*

This app is amazing! It allows you to use your Apple Watch to view your streams from a number of your favorite apps like Twitter, reddit, National Geographic, Pinterest, and more by using taps or arm raising gestures to cycle through post by post. You can bookmark posts by taking a screen shot on your watch (press crown and side button at same time) and follow up on your phone on the main app. Must have for Apple Watch fans.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-09-29*

Nothing to criticize there! Stunning design.

### 5/5 — Worth the initial setup process

*2016-09-29*

A bit of a setup, but absolutely worth it. The first app for Apple Watch that I've found is remotely useful.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2016-09-28*

Finally my watchface is relevant to my life!! :)

### 5/5 — Only Watch face I use

*2016-09-26*

Can't wait for additional channels!

### 5/5 — Like flipboard on my watchface

*2016-09-14*

Love it. Get all my feeds and no need to open any apps. Just glance down.
