Pros and cons of MyGlass app for iPhone and iPad

MyGlass app good for

Glad to see that the MyGlass app will make it into iOS 11! Thanks!!
I know Google has stopped development on Google Glass, but hopefully they will issue an update for this app to convert it to 64-bit before iOS 11 is released and this version no longer works.
Please update the app to work with iOS 10 and above. As right now the support is no longer there and the app/ glass wont work via cell network when off WiFi. Thank you.
Love the app wish I could close all the history tabs at once on this all like in iOS closing apps. Screencast is really cool!! (Add Chromecast) Im loving the app just need SMS Apple let Glass get notifications!! Like pebble watch.
Its still early days for MyGlass however the app runs solid and I dont get many disconnects if any at all. Screencast is a little laggy but great when you want to show someone else what you are seeing through glass without having to give it up. I would have liked to see support for 5Ghz wifi networks but Im not sure if thats in the hardware at all. The ability to install apps sans a computer browser and now directly on glass is a welcomed change and makes upgrading glasss apps much more enjoyable and even simpler than before. Battery life is passable when you use the device simply as a quick email/tweet/Facebook notification check or a brief few web page views. The battery takes a beating when running the video recorder or using its playback feature for more than 10 mins and more importantly surprisingly heats the unit up to the point that even the OS tells you to "give it a break and let it cool down" as you will notice a definite slowdown in the interface when things get hot. On the whole the iOS MyGlass app is a welcomed addition and a must have to any glass / iPhone owners so what are you waiting for ? GoGetIt!
So far great! Since most of these are going to developers I find some of the complaints funny, since, its a development version and if you have and glassware or particular support is not there yet you could write your own app to do this, right? I mean, you ARE a developer and understand this is still ramping up, right Chase? JK, buddy.

Some bad moments

Really? Great way to abandon old products. This app will no longer run at all in iOS 11. Disappointing.
Please provide a version with UIKit and not web views. The experience with web views is not good.
Now it is connect but how can I get text send to my google glass? Please update so that it works on iOS as well.

I personally hate seeing reviews that the MyGlass application is "Fantastic" and "Finally here!". Most reviews also show no signs of being upset that messages arent supported. First of all MyGlass is lightyears behind for iPhone. (They advertised it was compatible for iPhone when I purchased and MyGlass wasnt even available for iPhone). Pebble and other smart watches have made messaging possible by sending the message raw data through the hotspot or Bluetooth connection to the app and have it handle the SMS/iMessage. It is not a hard task and any basic programmer could achieve it. If the limitations of the OS are holding Glass back, why not just use that solution stated above? It is highly unlikely Apple will change the guidelines for a company they cut ties with a few years back.
I just upgraded my iOS to the latest version. Now the app wont work and when I try to re-download onto my iPad mini retina, I get the message that the "MyGlass app is not compatible with this version of iPad." Please fix!
