Glimpse - Webpage Widgets for Android

Would give it zero stars if possible. Hasn't been updated in a VERY long time. Run as far as you can from this.

Not only does it do what it's supposed to do, but also, unfortunately, seems to be the only app that does what it does. In the days of Dashboard, one could just use Safari to create a widget that showed a webpage. It worked fine then. Dashboard is now finally gone. Glimpse *barely* brings that Dashbard-Safari crossover functionality to the Today widgets. Glimpse's setting don't really work. I set up the "glimpse" to a specific spot on the webpage (middle-ish), but every time the widget refreshes, we're back at the top of the page. I have it set to *never* refresh, but it refreshes *every time* I call out the Notfication Center, forcing me to scroll back to the spot below. You could set it to not be interactive, which does normally prevents it from refreshing. The problem is that it needs to be refreshed sometimes. Again, Goes back to top on every refresh, but you can't scroll if it is not interactive. In other words, the app has issues that make it difficult to use as advertised. Not worth even the small amount I paid for this. It's unfortunate that this is the only app of its kind.

It places a menu at the top right of the screen with the web pages I designate. I’m using it to get quick access to my home controls.

I really like the app alot but it needs further development. Really useful for keeping web documents easily accessible during my workflow. However, my problems with it are: 1. That you can’t scroll up and down a document with the track pad, you can only use directional buttons but sometimes even that becomes unresponsive. 2. The page constantly rescrolls to the top after reopening the notification center. 3.. Even if you untick refresh into “never refresh”, the page still refreshes. It becomes inconvenient when trying to access a page that requires a login. 4. It needs a zoom in and zoom out button
