### 2/5 — Outdated

*2017-11-28*

The glyphs don’t all match the ones in the actual game, and the game has several glyphs not even present in this app. You’d be better off making your own flash cards by printing the glyphs from an online wiki that’s up-to-date.

### 1/5 — Missing a bit of storage

*2017-06-27, version 1.0.2*

If you go into setup and change it so it is only 2 glyphs and then start the Application over, it has forgotten what your setup was.  If you change it to slow or very slow, forgotten.  In fact any changes you make, totally forgotten every time.  If you want to just learn the glyphs by having them come up one at a time, nope, 2 in the minimum.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2017-03-29, version 1.0.2*

Already helping my rubbish memory for hacking , thank you 🤘

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-05-25, version 1.0.2*

Does exactly what it says.  Great app.  Thanks!

### 1/5 — Almost amazing...

*2016-05-16, version 1.0.2*

I've been using "Glyph Mastery" for a while and love it, but needed to move on to actually practicing sets of 3 to 5 glyphs. This apps setup gives some awesome controls for doing this! 

Where this app fails horribly is user input. User traced lines do not "snap" to the points. This makes it almost impossible for someone to speed through glyphs. If this app could correct this it would be an easy five stars.

### 1/5 — Horrible control

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

The method they use to trace the glyph is horrible and hard to control.

### 4/5 — Very helpful to learning

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

New to Ingress, glyphs are the  most challenging party of the game so far. This app gives practice. I use it alongside the glyph dictionary (in app store), to learn this written foreign language.

### 5/5 — Useful training app

*2015-10-26, version 1.0.2*

If you get into ingress this is a useful little training app for the glyph hacking mini game. Thanks to the developer!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-10-02*

This is a great app to practice glyph hacking for Ingress. It presents the glyphs just like it does in the game, up to 5 in a row. You can change the settings for how many you want to practice, and you can turn the words on and off too, great for when you are still learning all their names. Everything you need to learn all the glyphs.

### 5/5 — Call me Sho'nuff, because I'm the Masta!

*2015-09-18, version 1.0.2*

Using this in combination with Matt Nespor's "Glyph Mastery" app is perfect for learning the glyph language. Before the apps I would struggle with 3-glyph hacks; now I'm regularly nailing precious Level 8 portals with 5-glyph hacks.

I wouldn't call it too fast even at "normal." If anything the Level 8 portals give you less time when flashing the glyph sequence.

If you could mash this together with Nespor's app it'd be perfect, but I don't mind switching between them; they're tiny apps.

Thanks for helping "enlighten" me. 👍🏻
