Ratings and Reviews
Editors' Notes
We love that Glass elevates your photos with full-screen layouts and minimal compression. In the absence of likes and follower counts, there’s no need to focus on engagement—just share your favorite shots. With an engaged community of amateur and professional shutterbugs alike, the app makes it easy to share your love of photography.
A Great Experience
I love Glass, simply because it offers a beautiful, minimalist interface, an ad-free feed and EXIF data alongside each photo. It’s a very calm and thoughful way to enjoy images. Frankly, it’s what Instagram should have been. I don’t think the overall presentation of the app needs to be changed much, as too many extras could overcomplicate or clutter what is already a fantastic service.
That being said, on profiles (in the app and on the Web) it would be cool to offer some more options for customisation, such as filters for categories, camera and/or year. That would assist with navigation as one’s archive builds over time. While descriptions can be added, there should be support for alt text, as descriptions don’t always spell out what’s in an image; I’d even suggest making it mandatory for all users to enter alt text to ensure full accessibility.
Since the app is already on Windows, in the long run it would also be great to see it as a native Mac app and it would *really* shine on tvOS. Large images!
Wonderful interface
I started using Glass because of its wonderful, fluid interface on iOS. The app is simply a pleasure to use, and something I aspire to in my own work.
After using glass for a while, I started to pick up my SLR and take meaningful photos again. A couple of years later, I've upgraded my camera hardware and am taking my rediscovered hobby a bit more seriously. Love this app & community.
One thing I'd like to say for the decision makers at Glass to hear: I see there's a (very good) web version that I can use in the browser. I see that web version adapted/wrapped for use on other platforms. Please keep the iOS app the way it is. The interface is delightful.
