### 3/5 — A lot of faffing about

*2026-08-09, version 4.0.32*

I use this occasionally. It’s a simple enough concept and it meets a need. But it seems bloated and overly complex and more so since the last time I used it. It should be a few taps and you’re done, and maybe it is for someone like the developers who are deeply familiar with it, but for occasional use you find yourself having to re-learn it each time.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch app please

*2026-05-09, version 4.0.30*

Please please 🙏 really need this

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-02-07, version 4.0.25*

This is a great app, but a bit more work is needed. Particularly instructions directly in the app to show how to use it.

### 2/5 — Freezes

*2025-10-12, version 4.0.20*

The application is picky on when it works and when it doesn’t. Most of the time it doesn’t update and stays frozen. The customer link is a circle that won’t let you submit any concerns.

### 2/5 — 相手の位置が動かない

*2025-07-05*

なぜなあのでしょう？

### 3/5 — On Blackberry it was great, but not anymore

*2025-05-29, version 4.0.14*

When we could use our Blackberry phones BBM message system still in the UK which had as as side facility GLYMPSE, both were brilliant. Never had any problems at all with either. However, when the Blackberry system memory system got choked up with the updated apps and the Blackberry capabilities were not enough to be able to cope with the new systems, we had to move to another manufacturer phone. 

Since then we have just had no luck with either the message systems that I had found, text messages are frequently too slow or GLYMPSE at all. So I have had to look around again.  

Then someone suggested I have a look at telegram for my messages. It is brilliant. But it also has a few side features like the Blackberry system. Photograph access, but only the ones that you want, also not only the chat service but also an incognito chat as well. A link to a time limit map so you can see who is where, You can see any of your contacts who are also registered with Telegram. Access to many different types of settings so you can tailor it to your own preferences. Many, many different types of emoji’s, gifs, stickers and also moving ones as well. Lastly voice recording. 

I did use them both on my Blackberry until I did not have enough memory, but apart from that I cannot fault either when they were on the Blackberry. It seems as though Blackberry had more control over Glympse than now when it is available to all of the people and any mobile phone system.

### 4/5 — Found him really helpful, stay connected

*2025-04-08*

Glympse app sincerely gave me the exposure needed with my findings. I suspected my spouse was cheating on me but I never had any evidence even though I had my doubts and he's been suspicious and keeping secrets too. This went on for months and I was totally not comfortable until I took it upon myself to make my findings with some tracking apps until I came across a successful review about a private spy investigator of which I contacted him on his email provided at - FIRSTGURUHACK @ gmail com. explained carefully and gave the spy expert the information he requested of me and in few hours, my husband's device was hacked and I got access to his phone messages, his WhatsApp, Facebook and emails, I was able to monitor his gps real time location as well as listen to his phone calls too. I was hurt when all this information dawned on me. I felt so heartbroken to say i detest infidelity for the fact I was honest with him. Well, I'm glad I reached out to the investigator for giving me this credible useful information to my doubts, I had no regrets still. I urge anyone to reach out to the expert if you have similar issues or looking at tracking or spying anonymously on anyone and be certain of an accurate helpful result.

### 3/5 — Spoiled by Advertising

*2025-03-31, version 4.0.11*

A “dishonest” update, installing banner ads and attempting cross-site tracking is not an improvement for users. If you can’t tell it how it is, that’s weak behaviour.

From here on, I’ll be starting to look for a non-commercial alternative.

### 2/5 — This was my go to app for 10 years, now I deleted it

*2025-03-30, version 4.0.10*

I have not been able to get it to recognize my email address after numerous successful verifications.  I'm done!

### 5/5 — Garage door repairs

*2025-03-18, version 4.0.10*

Repairs. Badguys did an awesome job. He was so kind  and generous. I was so thankful. I highly would recommend him to anyone. Please reach anytime.

### 1/5 — Still trying to take my money

*2026-04-27, version 4.0.27*

Why are you still charging me after I canceled my subscription

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-01-22, version 4.0.25*

Never works

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2025-12-24, version 4.0.24*

App no longer works with iOS 26

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2025-12-24, version 4.0.24*

Confusing initial screens trying to upsell to premium.  Deleted app

### 1/5 — Great app

*2025-12-15, version 4.0.23*

This is one of my fav apps. Hard to say why but lots of options and let's people see your live location.

Edit:
Used to be good but now is glitchy, doesn’t update my speed or location. Unfortunately I believe the time has come to delete this app.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-08-04*

Локацию определяет неверно,

### 1/5 — Used to love

*2025-07-13, version 4.0.15*

I was a devoted fan of this app but recently it became very onerous and my followers said it was not showing my position. It doesn’t want to accept my email to login, but keeps asking me to fix it. It seems to always want to use my last navigation destination and makes it hard to delete it to enter a new one. I am switching to Waze or Google maps. Deleting Glympse.

### 1/5 — Confusing & Complicated

*2025-06-17, version 4.0.14*

Needed to keep tabs of family while they are out since we live far from town in case someone needs help. This is not the app for this.

### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.0.11

*2025-04-03, version 4.0.11*

Without warning or any kind of description in the version history, this app is suddenly showing ads and is using Apple Maps instead of using Google Maps, which I selected in Glympse’s settings. This is either a buggy update or they lied in their version history and snuck in a couple of major changes without mentioning them.

### 1/5 — Disgusting App that refuses to delete your account nor delete it from your phone

*2025-04-01, version 4.0.11*

This app automatically installed during the last update. It is impossible to delete your data from it and is impossible to remove from your iPhone. 

Never install it. If you find it delete it!

### 5/5 — A way to share

*2026-06-26, version 4.0.31*

We use Glympse exclusively to share our locations temporarily while traveling. It is easy to use and sharing is disabled automatically. ☺️

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-05, version 4.0.27*

Easily 5 stars 👏👏

### 5/5 — Caught my cheating spouse I highly recommend

*2026-01-17, version 4.0.24*

When I speak about ( Hackspymaster @ gmail com )saying he's truly the best at what he does, better believe that. The moment I noticed some changes in my partner's attitude, I then came across a review about his skill set, experience and expertise so l sent him an email to help me gain full remote access to her phone. I saw all I needed to see on her phone; all that she's done behind my back. You only live once so you should find out what's going on behind your back and move on with your life.

### 5/5 — “Safety first”

*2025-11-15, version 4.0.21*

Meeting people on line is tough and most people on dating apps don’t always tell the truth , because of location Glympse give the power to make sure there where they say they are !!!

### 5/5 — Very useful and works great.

*2025-11-09, version 4.0.21*

I’ve been using this app since 2022 and it’s a great way to share with your family or friends or your location and arrival time. I use it mostly when I’m on my motorcycle, but I also share it when I’m going to meet with people so that they can see my arrival time. Can be used to share with iPhone or android users.

### 5/5 — Satisfactory tracking

*2025-10-24*

Having tried various trackers/tracking apps with no results to show, EthikaLhacking HQ @ gmaiL • co m genuinely showed up and got me results. With only a couple of details, i can find and monitor anyone i wish to keep tabs on. Be it for family/friends safety, locating a lost device or simply checking in on loved ones, their services made it seamless. The realtime tracking is exceptionally precise. Their services are essential for anyone who wants to remain connected and in control.

### 5/5 — Better except for

*2025-09-18, version 4.0.19*

It performs as intended just that no consumer fee to get rid of the marketing. Advertisements are a nuisance.

### 5/5 — Endeavor to read this!!!

*2025-09-05*

This inspired me to look into what might have caused her out-of-character reaction. I made the decision to contact a private investigator after seeing an advertisement for one on Wizardkevinhacker @ gmail and letting him know about my partner's questionable behavior. I told him I wanted a duplicate of her phone as well. Although I was initially skeptical about his abilities, I ultimately decided to pay the charge because he included a money-back guarantee in case the work wasn't up to par.

### 5/5 — Spot On

*2025-08-08, version 4.0.17*

I’ve been using this app for years so easy to use , you just hit the G symbol pick the person you want to share your location with and the amount time you want to share it and send …. Had a couple of occasions where it’s stopped sharing and then won’t reconnect by itself and only the person you are sharing with knows it has done this.
I give it a good 9.5 out of 10 👍

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-06-29*

He kept saying he was “hanging out with friends”, but something felt off. After trying apps that didn’t work, I got in contact with a PI i was referred to via Email at EthikaLHackingHQ @ gmail • , spoke with them over the phone, provided them with the details needed to catch my partner red handed and within a few hours I received realtime reports. When i checked his location, he was at an address i didn’t recognize — not even close to where he said he’d be, his text messages and hidden media files further gave me clarity as regards his cheating escapades. If you have doubts, this gives you answers.
