Glancify is a web scraping tool that feeds your Apple Watch with regularly updated facts and figures to make them available to you at a glance.
Apple Watch is fantastic for keeping you up to date with key pieces of information, and alerting you when things change. With Glancify you can now display ANY open and available fact or statistic from the Internet right on your Apple Watch.
Use the Glancify browser on your iPhone to choose the text you want to capture - just tap to select - and Glancify will regularly scrape this page location and feed the results to your watch app, Complication, or Glance. Stay updated with latest news headlines, financial data/prices, weather forecasts and temperatures, sports results and scores. Whatever you need to keep tabs on.
Glancify updates the data periodically in the background, or you can refresh on demand with a single tap or even just a glance at your wrist. Even without Apple Watch, Glancify can keep you updated with changes to your chosen content with alerts on your iPhone.
You can also receive notifications when the content changes, keeping you up to date with the information you need in the the most convenient and unobtrusive way, all day long.
Latest reviews of Glancify app for iPhone and iPad
Great idea but doesnt seem to detect numbers or work like its supposed too. Trying to get it to see a live YouTube subscriber count.
Please review and finish your app before slapping on a $4 price tag. Assess if it is actually worth it with all these bugs and crashes. Please fix the slightly lower than center view on apple watch glance section. This app has huge potential but its success is mitigated by tiny flaws that can be worked around(I hope). One suggestion is to play with font size based on the info. needed to be displayed in the glance section. As of now, it literally cuts the info. Based on this, I would suggest that prospective customers steer clear of this app. It is clearly not worth the money(as it stands). Edit: this version(1.1) is more stable and many issues that I had (communication between I-devices) have seen a resolution. I did not give a full 5-star because of the missed opportunity in utilizing this app. The user interface needs a revisit. It could use a redesign to be more user friendly(although the tutorial and help section are perfectly sound). Thats why I went from a 2-star to a 4-star rating.
