Not on mine, it doesn't (iphone 5). I'm accessing through Safari and I get "Oops, cannot run embedded" with a link to GlidePort, which gives me a map of North America with links I can't get past.

I realize this is all volunteer labor and I applaud the guys who are trying their best. But it would be my preference to see that best effort applied to simpler, more reliable, more useful stuff.

Locating a glider in a field with spot or inreach, but no cell service is the height of useful...
