Description
The app uses the GPS capability in your mobile phone to let you share your location in one of two ways:
Via a web-based map for a predetermined period with anyone you choose who does not have the Glympse app
Within the Glympse app for a predetermined period for those who, like you, have the Glympse app downloaded.
Sharing your location with someone is referred to as "sending a Glympse." A Glympse goes out as a link via text message. When recipients click on the Glympse link they can view your location on a map in real-time using any web-enabled device for as long as you choose to share with them.
Send a Glympse to let friends know you are on your way to meet them. Request a Glympse from a colleague who is running late to a meeting. Set up a Glympse Tag with your biking club. Create a Glympse Premium Tag for an upcoming local Santa parade. Those you share with can view your Glympse from any web-enabled device, no sign-up or app required.

Features
Glympse Private Groups
Glympse Private Groups is a feature in Glympse that creates a private, invite-only Group. You give members control over who can be a member. All members of a Group can share their location and request the location of other members – all visible only to those in the Group. Private Groups are ideal for sharing with family, carpools, sporting teams, groups of friends and more.
Glympse Tags
Glympse Tags is a feature in Glympse that allows you to quickly view and share location with multiple friends on a single, shared Glympse map. Glympse Tags are public spaces (similar to Twitter/X hash tags) where anyone who knows the Tag name can view the tag map and add themselves to that map. When you view a tag map, what you are seeing is a map of people who have chosen to join the tag map (example: !SmithFamilyReunion or !SeattleCyclingClub).
Glympse Premium Tags
Glympse Premium Tags is our premium offering in Glympse that provides customization options to personalize and brand the Glympse experience. You can create a one-of-a-kind experience by uploading your logo and branding, map out certain routes you plan to make stops at, as well as other branding elements. Glympse Premium Tags is ideal for events such as community parades, Santa parades, food trucks, marathons, and so much more.

5 ★ It's an excellent tool for outdoors sportsman, hunters, fishermen, hikers and skiers. Let's your loved ones know your exact location only when you want them to know your location. It could be a safety resource so your friends and loved ones can find you in emergencies.
1 ★ This app no longer updates recipient unless I run it in foreground the whole time. Effectively useless now. Was fine in previous versions. Samsung A20
1 ★ The latest version of the app has it running all the time trying to connect to my car. I don't want this app always running. I only want it working when I want it.
5 ★ Use this app while supporting a hot air balloon team. An altitude setting as an option would be a nice addition. Works just great.
3 ★ They have added a SDL notification that cannot be turned off. Will be uninstalling if not fixed.
1 ★ SmartDevice Link SDL notifications crashes my phone. I can't set the notifications to off without it crashing my System UI.
5 ★ I downloaded this app to help me track & locate my husband since he's been suspicious & suddenly keeps secret. I saw a recommendation about a private investigator so I contacted him on Google mail, he helped me hack my husband's phone by giving me access to his mobile device, text messages, GPS Location & access to his social messaging app. You can reach out to him on Premiumspyglobal@ Gmail com if you've got doubts and need informative proof in your relationship or marriage. I Recommend
1 ★ Used to work perfectly, now I constantly get this annoying SDL notification that I can't get rid of.
2 ★ Still same after update. At the Same spot and not working . Clear/reinstall didn't help.
2 ★ Annoying SDL notification. Attempting to disable it causes System UI to crash.
2 ★ Signal dropping out from followers android. Seriously thinking of changing provider as signal is so intermittent & not really worth. Also no response from Glympse either.
5 ★ Super useful app that is pretty accurate and let's you know exactly where people are!
5 ★ Works great, unless you get dead spots in your reception.
2 ★ Doesn't work anymore. :( Shows me as being at my destination.
2 ★ Some SDL addition now clutters my notifications. How do we get rid of this? Used to be good, suggest people avoid for now.
