Response from developer

Glitch

Your apps had a glitch it showed us our community it said we had left our houses but we still at home. Is there a way to fix it.

Response from developer

Hello - Sometimes the phone's GPS can report some slight changes in location due to drops in connectivity. If you reach out to us at support@gather.life we can get the information we need to look into specifically what is happening in your case. In the meantime, you can customize the size of the place alerts to be larger to not trigger from this kind of GPS connectivity issue. Thank you!

I LOVE THIS APP

I LOVE THIS APP, BECAUSE I AM BEDRIDDEN, AND CAN KEEP AN EYE ON MY FAMILY

Location

I find that even though I am Within 3 miles of a tower and my family, I have to refresh the page 2 or three times to get it to open and fully load. When I check tracking or locating, it says last updated an hour ago my loved one could be a long distance in an hour.

Response from developer

Hello - I'm sorry you are having issues. If you could send us an email at support@gather.life or use the Customer Support section of the Profile -> Settings area of the app, it will give us the information we need to look into the details of this for you.

Not always accurate

Could be more accurate and update more frequently

Response from developer

Hello - Thank you for the feedback! If you could reach out to us via email at support@gather.life or using the support section of the profile -> settings area of the app, we can figure out exactly what is happening for you. One common cause of this is if the user's phone is in low battery mode, which shuts down apps from working in the background.

Options

I wish they had a satellite view option where you can see the trees and houses etc…

Response from developer

Good timing - we will be adding satellite view in the next few weeks! Thank you for your feedback. If you have any issues or other suggestions, don't hesitate to send them to us at support@gather.life. Thank you!

Great

Great

great app and it's free

my family used to use Life360 and it was $14.99 a month. This app has the same features, for free.

Gather is so refreshing!

It’s such great eco-system for my family to use, I see a steady flow of improvements & features from month to month. These people care!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! We’re glad Gather is working well for your family. Our team is constantly working to improve the experience and add meaningful features. Appreciate you being part of it!

Won’t work

When I click on the app it crashes

Get it

Great so far

Battery killer

The app does what it should, but good golly it drains my battery faster than having Pokémon Go open (and for those that’ve played you know how bad that drain is).

Every time I leave the house, the clock turns blue which means an app is actively tracking my location (unlike Google Maps location services in which runs silently in the background and doesn’t kill my battery).

If I swipe up to switch apps, Gather is right there running - and it shouldn’t be!

@developers - please learn to properly implement location services running in the background, because this ain’t that.

broken sign in and lowkey creepy features

the continue with apple feature is broken and will not let you sign in.

also, certain features like the section that builds up a history of your gps data every day just seems really unnecessary and creepy/abusive.
