Glance Pro
· v4.08
About
This is a Pro version of the award winning "Glance Watch Face" app. Main focus of "Glance Pro" is glanceability - the app makes it EASY to see everything at a GLANCE, while still keeping a lot of information on the screen. Both apps have a similar design and share the same app description:

You can find a full list of differences between these 2 apps below.
NEW app: HANDY IQ. It is based on EASY+, but with analog hands and stunning design. Low introductory price during a promotional period:

PAYMENT: This app requires a one time "unlock code" purchase. You will have 7 days to test the app without a purchase. After that the app will still work, but it will show an "Unlock" message in 2 metric fields under the time. Please fully test the app before you buy it - once unlock code is sent, there are no refunds. When you make sure everything works and you are happy with the app, you can buy the unlock code here:
Pay in EUR (€3.95): https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_pro_eur.html
Pay in USD ($4.65): https://www.mobiledriveway.com/glance_pro_store.html
You can also switch to Glance Ultra (it is the newest enhanced version of Pro), and buy it directly from Garmin:
https://apps.garmin.com/apps/1bed8f69-2e34-46e4-9786-3166fa3c6ab2
After the payment, you should receive the unlock code right away (to your PayPal email). Check spam mail folder - an unrecogrized email is often moved there. If you still can't find the email, please send me a message through Contact Developer and I'll email you the code as soon as I'm able to get to a computer. New payment process is in development, so please be patient.

Due to many new features, the app was getting too big for some older watches, so I had to remove a few features to keep the app working on all devices. Here is what was REMOVED from Glance Pro:
-Multiple status icon options including beloved connection dot. Only default status icons are left, which show all statuses when they are active (without placeholder)
-Restore stock themes option (replaced by 3 user themes pre-populated with stock theme strings)
-Rounded steps count (now steps count is always full)
Hydration tracking from my new HYDRATE+ app (100% FREE):

Launching widgets from touchscreen for watches with System 6 firmware. Also, install "Universal App" and launch it by long pressing status icons. Link to the Universal App:

If you're enjoying the app, I'd be grateful if you could take a few moments to leave a review. Your feedback helps other users discover the app and it can also help me shape the development of the app!
