"Glympse Express is a simple way to share your location to a contact or app."

About this app

Ever wished that you could add the temporary location feature from Glympse to WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, or Facebook Messenger? Well now you can! Glympse Express enables you to quickly share a temporary link so others can see your location on a live map.

Open Glympse Express and simply select the app in which you wish to share location. Glympse Express creates a link to your live map and opens the app you selected so you can paste it into the appropriate conversation. Share via WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Line, Tango and more.

Prefer to send via SMS or email message? Glympse Express has you covered there as well. Select a contact from your address book and Glympse Express creates a shortcut enabling you to send to that contact in the future with just a single tap.

Recipients receive a link allowing them to view your 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 the Glympse app or any special software to view your live map.

We LOVE TO HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS. If you have an issue or suggestion, please send us an email at [email protected].

Just installed based on reading it could connect to Google messages. App doesn't seem to have this ability, but more than that it keeps crashing. All it looks like it will do is send a glympse to ONE person (can't choose from contacts, it tells you that it'll send to some specific person & you can't change that). Settings also seems frozen as I can't edit or save. I have no idea why I downloaded this app as it seems completely functionless.

I downloaded & used the app once, and when I opened it, was greeted with a page that says. "Select an application or contact to share your location with" where I could pick from about 8-10 options. After selecting one, it worked fine. I tried to use it a second time, & when I open the app, it just shows the message "Select an application..." but nothing I could select. I un-installed & reinstalled with the same result. It worked once, but after that, nothing.

A great app with fast and easy sharing of the location. However, the latest version doesn't work on my phone. Fortunately I had a backup of the previous version, which is still working great!

App doesn't work anymore. Tried to uninstall and reinstall to see if that would fix it and nothing. I can open the app but nothing happens when I select a contact. Used to be a really useful app that I would use with all my motorcycle friends since we can't call or text while riding. It would allow us to check people's location to know how far they were out and also know that they are still safe and riding.
