Horrible app. Can't figure anything out. Interface with s not user friendly. Do not download. Waste of time.
Confused

I have been using Waze for several years and love it for navigation!! I got a new Ford F-150 and Glympse is the only navigation app that works with Sync3 so I downloaded it to use it. Once my iPhone is connected to my truck i can't input anything so that all has to be done BEFORE I connect it to the usb. Not even on the sync3 screen can I input an address to drive to. Now I can't even put a destination in the app? I don't want to pay for a navigation chip and thought this would work but only if I add a destination as a favorite? That is ridiculous!! I did like hat the map shows on my sync3 screen, but if I already know where I'm going do I need that?? While using it today it froze up when I switched from audio back to mobile apps. Glympse no longer appeared. Now this could be a Sync3 issue and not Glympse but I've never had a more frustrating 20 minute drive taking the kids to school. Please fix this so I can actually use this.
More reliable than Waze...

Works better and updates more consistently than Waze, and works better than Waze since it shows you in real time the location of driver.
Meh.

It's only good for four hours, so I can't just send it to my family so they can track my progress and estimate when I will get there, without resetting it twice. Downloading a paid app, that doesn't limit me so much.
What happened?

Ever since the latest update Glympse has become unusable on multiple phones that Ive tried it on. The tracking of the driver is no longer smooth but is now extremely rigged and inaccurate. The app lags when keeping up with the drivers location. This app is definitely a 5 star must have app on every phone, but until they fix the problem it is rendered useless. I never write reviews but I'm hoping developers will see this and be able to fix it to how the routing was in the previous versions.
Used to work great!

This app used to be great for road trips. I could send my family a glympse and they could track where I was. Since the last update the app won't even load. I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Used to be a 5 star app
Broken App, Developers non-responsive
I.never.write.reviews
This app used to work very reliably. However, about 3-4 months ago I noticed that the driver's position would stop auto-refreshing, and sometimes I couldn't get it to refresh even when I closed the app and reopened it (in addition to a variety of other tricks I had been using to get the app to refresh the driver's position). Now this malfunction has become the app's normal operation. It stops tracking the driver mid trip and cannot be restarted. This means that responsibly safe drivers who use this app to keep family, friends and colleagues apprised of their arrival time without actively using distracting technology are completely unaware that those people have no idea of their arrival time or whereabouts. The app simply no longer works and it doesn't seem like developers have been at all responsive. I wonder if this app is no longer being managed or supported at all by the developer, in which case it should be pulled from the Apple App Store.
Location Services = Always/Never

This is obviously an app that requires access to your current location via Location Services. Unlike almost every other app, though, Glympse does not have the option to share your location with the app only while you're using it. You either have to choose to share your location with Glympse (and therefore its developers and who knows who else) all day everyday whether you're using Glympse or not, or you have to choose not to share your location at all, rendering the app non-functional. I've stopped using the app until they offer the option to only share your location when you're using the app. Until then, there are other ways to share my location and ETA with people without having my battery drained and privacy compromised as it is by allowing any app to track my location at will. Unrelated, but why are people making the apples-to-oranges comparison between Glympse and Waze? They perform totally different functions.
Great except for the time frame allowed

This would be the perfect app if they gave you the option to choose the time frame you want to share with others. 4 hours is usually not long enough for me and having to stop and reset it is very inconvenient.
