About Glypher

Frustrated by the glyph game in Ingress? Get some practice and build up your muscle memory! This is a practice application to help you with the Shaper Glyph minigame in Ingress.

This app is not affiliated with Niantic Labs. Glyph designs property of Niantic Labs.

Remember that some Glyphs have multiple translations. As far as we know, all of the glyphs that appear in Ingress are now in this app, and we are working on adding more sequences. See the link below to help contribute.

With thanks to the Glyphtionary (http://www.glyphtionary.com/) for the initial glyph translations, Robert Vaughan for the logo artwork, those who prepared the data (especially Adam Gilmore), and my many testers.

Coming soon:
• UI refresh
• Leaderboards and achievements for sequence mode
• Option to select sequence lengths
• More sequences!

Great practice app and lets you look up glyphs to see what they mean. Would love some way to track sucess vs failure on particular glyphs/sequences and practice those missed.

N70%
by N####:

Great app has up to date glyphs. User interface could use some work, but functionally fit!

Z70%
by Z####:

Cool app! Great last name

S70%
by S####:

Literally, the "Imperfect" glyph doesn't work

Z70%
by Z####:

Exactly what I needed! Easy to use, great little tool to familiarize the glyphs. Thanks!

X70%
by X####:

Only option I would add is a "Complex" mode that would flash the Glyphs as fast as Complex mode in the game.

M70%
by M####:

Wish there was a way to skip glyphs I already know and just practice new ones

Z70%
by Z####:

Improved my glyph hacking drastically

F70%
by F####:

Thanks

Z70%
by Z####:

One thing. There are glyphs in the app that don't appear in the game. I may have missed the obvious, but, why? :) Can I disable these "non-canon" glyphs? As in, even in your screenshots I see "begin" and "knowledge" I presume at platinum translator I'd have seen them by now!

I70%
by I####:

Keep missing points because unless you are really careful the accuracy is too high, this causes you to be slow. Not a good simulation of ingress glyphs.

X70%
by X####:

I would love to see an update that allows practicing on subsets of the Glyph symbol library in order to improve recall specifically on symbols I have trouble with. Thank you for this great app!

Z70%
by Z####:

Imperfect not working for me

Z70%
by Z####:

This helps me remember more glyphs, and also improved my short term memory.

I70%
by I####:

It's pretty good

D70%
by D####:

It's really difficult to select the dots. Not good for developing glyphing muscle memory.

D70%
by D####:

Love being able to practice glyphs. App runs great on phone and tablet.

F70%
by F####:

Thanks

Glypher has really improved my glyphing skill. When I first encountered glyphing, I was a mess. After using glypher for only a day or two, my glyph hit rate increased dramatically. I got a Translator badge very quickly.

T70%
by T####:

I have been using this app for a little bit and the touch sensitivity is terrible. It almost never registers when I attempt to do a dot on a glyph.

H70%
by H####:

Loving this helpful tool, however, when the "imperfect" glyph comes up, I cannot figure out what it wants. Any advice or help?

D70%
by D####:

Does a pretty good job mixing up the glyphs. A couple of the glyphs do not register correctly that you have done properly. (Imperfect) Other than that does what it says. I suggest getting practice out your with hacking skills

D70%
by D####:

[Redacted] Don't seem to have freezing issues now. Very helpful, once you find the right combination of settings. I recommend the "Single random glyph" mode, unchecking "Show glyph before drawing", checking "First reminder is a hint", and unchecking "New glyph on failure." For newbies like me this is the best configuration to memorize individual glyph names. I've made huge strides in only two days. Would love to see reverse mode, which shows glyphs and makes you guess the name. This would require a very fast and intuitive name selector, so as not to be tedious.

D70%
by D####:

Sure, it's useful but I loath the horrible click and drag line that follows. It's so unnatural and doesn't feel at all like glyphing.

P70%
by P####:

This app pushes your skills in a couple of different ways to memorize the shaper glyphs. At first I was making up my own words for them, but then I'd get all muddled up. This teaches the true meanings as you go, helping to strengthen your memory and make your speed faster. Truly the best app out there for this reason.

D70%
by D####:

This is how I have been getting my Translator badges quickly. Also, so much equipment! Yay! Thank you, developers!

T70%
by T####:

The app needs an update. New glyphs have been added that aren't in the app.

D70%
by D####:

Very easy to use. Would be better if possible to set the length of sequence. Gets lots of 5 glyphs seq when choosing normal while I never encounted > 3 glyphs when hacking so far (lvl5~8).

D70%
by D####:

This is a must have app for anyone who wants to try glyph hacking and get the translator badges.

X70%
by X####:

Once the option for users to select glyph sequence lengths is implemented it will be perfect for me

H70%
by H####:

A great aide on the road to Onyx Translator.

D70%
by D####:

I use this app mainly to draw glyphs that I forgot the name to and it tells me them. Other than that, the app is somewhat useful but brings up glyphs I've never seen while glyphing.

B70%
by B####:

Needs an update though. New glyphs.

R70%
by R####:

The response time on the touch is a little slow sometimes and "imperfect" isn't recognized when input. It's missing some glyphs like "intelligence" and "technology". Good job on everything else.

B70%
by B####:

Needs to be updated for the latest version of ingress. Glyphs like technology are not in there.

X70%
by X####:

I would love to see an update that allows practicing on subsets of the Glyph symbol library in order to improve recall specifically on symbols I have trouble with. Thank you for this great app!

T70%
by T####:

Anytime you aren't out hacking portals, you can use this to practice glyph hacking. It works pretty much flawlessly.

I70%
by I####:

It was good but dosent give practice in multiple repets

D70%
by D####:

Waiting on new glyphs, but :D

D70%
by D####:

Spent a few hours with this app and now glyphing is a piece of cake! Scarcely miss anything anymore and always hit around a 40-50% speed bonus! Awesomely made, thanks!
