I’m able to do complex hacking now. It needs an update to include the new glyphs. ### 5/5 — Wonderful learning tool *2022-05-09, version 1.2.1* Even if it is a little outdated. Theres more glyphs that are not in the app cause of how new they are, but this is the bulk of them so learning the new glyphs will be much easier. But definitely get this to start out. It has most of the commonly used glyphs ### 4/5 — It’s the best *2021-06-20, version 1.2.1* It’s the best of the glyph training options, for sure. And it’s upped my glyph game immensely. But it appears that there are a couple glyphs missing. As well as a couple in the app that are no longer active. And that’s the only thing keeping me from adding that fifth star. It just needs an update. ### 4/5 — Incomplete but still great *2020-03-14, version 1.2.1* Although there are some missing glyphs (before, after, link, shield, field, them to name a few) I practiced with this app for thirty minutes every day for a month. I’ve gone from glyphing only level one and two portals to glyphing sevens and eights. In a week I’ve gone from 695 on my translator badge to 1600. This really works. I’d only like them to add the missing glyphs and include phrasing practice. Otherwise perfect app ### 5/5 — Excellent practice for muscle memory *2019-06-02, version 1.2.1* This is a great app for practicing muscle memory to do hacks. The only downside I have is that “them” and “Osiris” aren’t included. ### 5/5 — Missing 3 glyphs *2017-11-25, version 1.2.1* Awesome must-have for glyph hackers. Missing three glyphs that I’m aware of. “Before” - triangle on left side; center dot, and two on left. Not 100% sure of glyph name. “After” - triangle on right; center dot and two on right. Not 100% sure of glyph name. “Interrupt” - “close” + “before” (triangle on left + vertical line) ### 4/5 — Great practice; missing some glyphs. *2017-09-10, version 1.2.1* I learned pretty much all of the glyphs in a couple days with this. It is missing a few, however. Interrupt, before, after, sustain, sustain all, & them. The missing glyphs are in play in the field currently. All in all, great app. ### 5/5 — Awesome app for ingress *2017-04-18, version 1.2.1* This app is very useful. Being able to practice anytime makes it easier to get better faster. Please add newest glyphs for 2017 thanks. ### 4/5 — Pretty good. *2017-02-05, version 1.2.1* Missing three glyphs from the game — interrupt, before, after. ### 5/5 — Must have if you play Ingress *2016-08-24, version 1.2.1* Honestly, I don't write reviews on apps unless they're phenomenal, and this app is just that. I was shown this by a community member and after only 20 minutes of training I feel ready to do more training to be able to Glyph Hack. Wonderful tool to crush those problems you may have with Glyph Hacking. Awesome app!! ## Frequently asked questions about Glyph Mastery ### How often is Glyph Mastery updated?
