when I first downloaded the app a year and a half or 2 years ago, it worked great! now, it barely works at all. super disappointed. it doesn't track the person who shared, it doesn't update the track, it doesn't refresh. I have to close the app and close the tabs on my phone and then reopen the app to see any kind of movement. no longer records the speed either. super disappointing!

Updated: They cant leave a good thing alone. No longer sends SMS to receiver, have to send text manually. Settings set for silent yet the thing chimes. App disappears after sending invite... No clear way to correct this in settings. Used to be easy to use, now these important settings are either hidden, locked down or missing Old review: Handy. Easy to use.

Makes it easy to keep others informed of your location and arrival time, usually. It sometimes quits updating. It will continue to count down the time remaining on the Glympse but the last update was several minutes or even hours ago. 11/26/20 update. The issue of not updating position is getting more frequent. We're trying to keep track of our son and his position has not updated for an hour.
