  • Is viewing Santa free?
    • Yes. Anyone can watch Santa’s live route for free. Only the event organizer needs a Premium Tag subscription to create and manage the tracker.
  • My Santa’s location isn’t updating — what should I do?
  • My route won’t save. How do I fix this?
    • Make sure you’re clicking Save Route after each change. If the route still isn’t saving, double-check that your Premium Tag subscription is active. Routes will not save if the subscription has expired. If the issue continues, try refreshing your browser or logging out and back in before editing again.
  • Someone can’t open the Santa link. What should I check?
    • First, confirm that the link is correct and has no extra characters. Then have the viewer try opening it in a different browser or switching from Wi-Fi to cellular data. You can also test the link yourself to make sure the Tag is active and not expired.
  • My Tag name is taken. How do I choose another?
    • Tag names must be unique, so if a name is already in use, possibly from an older account, you’ll need to select a different one. Try adding a number, location, or short variation until you find an available option.
  • Login or email issues with the Glympse app.
    • The Glympse app uses your email to log in. No password required. If you’re not receiving the login email, check for typos, try another email address you may have used previously, or look in your spam/junk folder. If you still can’t log in, confirm which email was used to purchase your Premium Tag, as that is the account tied to your subscription.
  • How do I cancel my Premium Tag subscription?
  • How does auto-renewal work?
    • Your Premium Tag subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle using the payment method saved in your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account. As long as the payment method is valid and the subscription hasn’t been canceled, it will renew without any action needed.
  • Can I renew early?
    • No, early renewal isn’t available. Your subscription will stay active until the end of the current billing cycle and then automatically renew on its scheduled renewal date.
  • How do I manage my subscription in Apple/Google?
    • All subscription changes including updates to your payment method, cancellations, and checking your next renewal date must be managed directly through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account. Go to your device settings, open your App Store or Play Store subscriptions, and select your Glympse Premium Tag subscription to update it.
