Wake up Motorola. You are losing customers due to this piece of garbage app.
Incredibly Infuriating Application, no matter how many times I go into my settings and disable this app/delete all the cache data & permissions. Glance continuously reinstalls on my phone every time there is even a minor update to the app. If you want this type of application in your phone then great but for those of us who don't. Motorola might not be the phone for you because you CANNOT opt out of this asine cellular data and battery draining app. 0 stars if I could.
stop putting this in our phones. No one wants it
the app is malware and if Google actually cared about it's users and not profit, this would be removed from the play store
if this app turns itself back on one more time after u disable it, I'm going to make sure it knows what disable means
I want to delete this app off my phone once and never have it on there again. this is predatory and I don't want it on my phone taking up space and glitching my lock screen so I can't take calls. I'd rather give it no stars.
100% pure spyware unable to uninstall or disable ~ it always repopulates and gives itself permission to use background data on my 2024 moto stylus! I have force stopped, disabled, and removed background data permissions so many times and it always comes back and continues to steal my mobile data and my battery life. Uninstalling is also useless as it repopulates itself ~ love my cheap moto phones but this app is relentless and beyond horrible!!!
worst app ever. remove it.
I DESPISE THIS APP!!!!!! (update/edit) NOW YOU HAVE FULLY TAKEN AWAY MY ABILITY TO TURN OFF THIS APP. EVERY WEEK OR TWO I WOULD HAVE TO DISABLE IT OR TRY SOMETHING TO STOP THE INTRUSIVE AND UNWANTED ADS, NEWS AND STUFF I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN. I AM CONSIDERING BUYING A NON MOTOROLA NOW JUST TO GET AWAY FROM THIS OBNOXIOUS AND UNWANTED ANNOYANCE UNLESS YOU DISABLE IT FOREVER. needless to say I'm irritated by this and I'd give you no stars if I could, maybe a bunch of poop emojis

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
