Description
Glympse is the easiest way to safely share your location with someone in real time. No sign-up needed and no new social network to manage. Recipients receive a link allowing them to view your ETA and location in real-time for the length of time you choose.
When the timer on your Glympse expires, your location is no longer visible. Best of all, recipients do not need any special software to view a Glympse. Send a Glympse via SMS, email, Facebook or Twitter, and recipients can view it using any web-enabled device. You can also send a Glympse to your Evernote account to save that journey.

Reviews
Once great, now less great This was great when I first installed it, but seems to have gotten worse with updates. Speed is no longer displayed, and my location doesn't refresh frequently enough on my own map--I'm never certain that I'm sending or receiving real-time information. Perhaps new power-saving features are to blame?
Update please. I use this all the time but it needs larger fonts. The speed is so tiny you cannot glance at it on a bicycle to see your speed. Why does this need to read our call log and personal messages? These are t needed to o work a map.
Awesome Tool Still an early user, but so. far this tool is really useful. AND it works with my Galaxy Gear! The interface takes some getting use to. It quickly becme one of my favorite tools. And I'm sure it will continue to get better. The Gear version crashed a bit, hoping the latest update stabilizes the experience.
Dev team unresponsive, they removed kph switch and left just mph I used to love this app but they are going in the wrong direction. Tried contacting dev team and NEVER got any response. Browser interface just got stripped and I can only see map view (no aerial photo) and speed in MPH. It seems that they forgot that more civilized parts of the world actually use the METRIC system! One star for ignoring users and removing metric system from browser viewer!
Mom loves it! My mom is obsessed with this now! Even though I am 33, she worries when I go out in bad weather. Now she can track me and know I'm safe, but I can't get away with lying about where I am, lol! :-)
Useless. Have to leave app, create a new contact on phone with the email/number you want to send, get back to app, search for new contact and finally share. And then your gps app already knows your destination, but you have to type it again here...
What's New
* New map control on most devices that supports tilt, rotate, 3D buildings, and faster/smoother graphics.
* New follow mode. Just press the lock button on the map to have Glympse automatically pan/zoom the map to follow all the people that are currently visible on the map.
* Two new permissions required:
- Activity recognition: Allows Glympse to optimize battery based on if you are walking, driving, or biking.
- Read your own contact card: Allows Glympse to set your initial name and avatar.

Find My Friends!
Find My Friends helps you locate your friends and identifies their exact location on the app’s navigational map. It’s the perfect way to track friends whether you’re shopping in a mall, visiting a museum, camping in the great outdoors or enroute to meet up at this year’s best-ever party! For families, it offers peace of mind. There’s no need to constantly text message children or other relatives to find out where they are and if they are safe. Find My Friends lets everyone enjoy life and stay connected without having to send or respond to an endless stream of “where are you?” texts. Find My Friends uses state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to provide the most accurate, up-to-date locations in real-time. Never wonder where your friends are, if they’re lost, stuck in traffic, or just plain late. With Find My Friends, it won’t take long to figure out where your friends actually are and help them get to where they’re supposed to be. It’s an easy-to-use friend locator and people finder app!
Says one reviewer: ★★★★★ “Great app! Allows you to keep track of a network of people and even lets you see how they have moved about in the last hours!—Mikael Bergbrant
Some of the most popular Find My Friend functions, features and benefits include:
Find Your Friends
Once installed on your phone, Find My Friends can help you locate your friends anytime or anywhere. Just view the map on the Find My Friends app—each friend appears as their own, individual icon. The map updates in real-time, so you can quickly learn where each person is and also, where they are going.
Friend Locator
Here’s a perfect example of how Find My Friends is a helpful friend locator: Say you’re going camping with a group of people. Before the trip, have all campers install the Find My Friends app on their phones. Now you can chat with everyone simultaneously to coordinate trip details, such as meeting time and place, supplies/shopping list duties, suggest trails to hike or tourist spots to visit on the trip. This all can be decided in advance of your journey so you can make the most of your time appreciating nature in the great outdoors, not with your nose buried in a guidebook or travel app. You can also use Find My Friends to locate errant campers still enroute to the pre-determined meeting point and estimate a group meeting time. And if you have any direction-challenged friends who typically get lost…Find My Friends can help you guide them to the campsite location in a timely fashion, because you know exactly where there are! Even after the camping trip is over, Find My Friends is a helpful app. You can monitor the app’s map to make sure everyone got home safely and then visit it again, when it’s time to plan your group’s next adventure!
Locate My Friends/Locate Friends
Even if your friends don’t have a smart phone, you can still use Find My Friends to locate and track friends. Just send them an invite via text. Once they reply with a “yes,” their icon will appear on the app’s map. Find My Friends uses cell phone tower triangulation to help locate your friends, no matter where they are located or headed.
People Finder
Find My Friends lets you find people with any phone, whether or not it’s a smart phone. The Find My Friends app works with iPhones, Android Phones, BlackBerry phones and even non-smart phones. For non-smart phones owners, just send them an invite to join via text and once the invite is accepted, that person can be tracked. Find My Friends is also a helpful mobile number tracker.
People Search
Find My Friends is a great people search tool. Friends can send you alerts when they check in at a destination, whether it’s a new restaurant, art gallery or shopping mall where a great sale just started. You can quickly check the app’s map for your friend’s exact location. Find My Friends will provide the navigation to their exact address, so you can join them!

Snapchat
Experience a totally new way to share today. Snap a photo or a video, add a caption, and send it to a friend (or maybe a few). They'll view it, laugh, and then the snap disappears from the screen - unless they take a screenshot! If you want to share a Snap with all of your friends, add it to your Snapchat Story, a living narrative where each Snap lives for 24 hours until it disappears, making room for the new.
The images might be a little grainy, and you may not look your best, but that's the point. It's about the moment, a connection between friends in the present, and not just a pretty picture.
The allure of fleeting messages reminds us about the beauty of friendship - we don't need a reason to stay in touch.
***
Please note: even though snaps are deleted from our servers after they are viewed, we cannot prevent the recipient(s) from capturing and saving the message by taking a screenshot or using an image capture device.
