Who says that glycine is nonpolar? That’s not true.

Yes and yes

Just ask, because often the division takes place only by side chain. This is useful in that the amino acids never occur individually but in proteins. The amino and carboxylic acid groups are bound. For the polarity and the hydrophilic character of the protein, the side chains of the amino acids play a role.

In your app, what about what this classification refers to or in what context?

This classification probably refers more to the side chains than to the whole molecule.

Alanine as a whole molecule is hardly hydrophobic.

The glycine molecule is polar. Only the side chain is considered in polypeptides. This is practically nonpolar in the case of glycine.
