***** "This app is awesome... I use it to show people where I am, my eta, to coordinate several people meeting at the same place coming from different directions... It gives people peace of mind, and the option to see it in a web browser is awesome for those who don't yet have the app. Also, it's nice that you can set the Glympse to expire upon arrival for saved battery life." - Bradley Dunham via iTunes

Kept me sane I was morning my beloved pooch at the same time good friends were moving from virginia it to wyoming. It was incredible to be able to follow them each step of the way knowing how fast they were going, what they were seeing, and stopping with them wherever they did-& seeing their pictures. The trip took several days and being able to travel vicariously with them and their 2 tweeting dogs kept me distracted at a time when I was most vulnerable and I had a blast. I love this program.
