★★★★★Juan Jan· Dec 26, 2025
We use this app every time a family member travels, so we know the exact location, and you can choose for how long you want to share your location.
★★★★★Michael Humphrey· Oct 6, 2025
Honestly, this is the best app for sharing your location. It's the only one I can depend on 100% of the time to do what I want and stay out of the way.
★★★★★Rikio Matsunaga· Apr 15, 2026
I've been using this app for about a decade, and I love it still
★☆☆☆☆Rick M· May 25, 2026
Used to work great. Lately it just doesn't work at all It takes forever to create a Glimpse, and then it doesn't show my location to people I send the link to.
★☆☆☆☆Ryan Lytwyn· Oct 24, 2025
App doesn't work on my android. Used to work just fine now it doesn't share the link to whomever I send it to. But it still runs in the background
★☆☆☆☆Andrew Smith (Drew)· Apr 25, 2026
After paying for premium, the app requires me to take extra steps to apply my branding every time I share. Even then, The branding doesn't show about 50% of the time. There is not a Link or option anywhere in the app, nor anywhere obvious on their website to contact support. I will absolutely be looking for a better option for sharing my location with clients.
