Review Summary
Glance Back is praised for its unique idea of creating a candid photo diary, bringing joy and meaningful reflection to users. Long-term users appreciate the concept and developer responsiveness. However, common issues include obstructive pop-ups, lack of photo backup causing data loss, and the extension taking over the new tab, which some users find intrusive. Technical problems with camera access and photo capturing also occur. Addressing these would greatly enhance user experience.
