I can convert in a spreadsheet, and sort the data, but some folks rather not. Also -would be much better if we can sample ALL inputs at selected periods (like GPS, etc.) ### 5/5 — Good *2019-11-16, version 1.3* Awesome App ### 1/5 — Privacy policy is intended to show “not found “ *2019-06-11* I only give you 1 stars because your privacy page is blocked as on purpose saying can’t be found. **Developer response:** Sorry for the incorrect link, the redirect has been fixed and you can view the privacy policy at https://gathered.app/privacy ### 5/5 — Awesome where’s an updated Version *2019-02-05* This is the best app used to collect, monitor, save, and protect my devices, accounts and devices Wish I realized I had this in a mislabeled folder, sooner. Had some security concerns and spent hours to collect 10% of what this app does in seconds Def give this a shot, I’m extremely impressed with this app . Exceeded expectations by miles Thanks again for your time and kindness EB ### 5/5 — Awesome .... can we get background monitoring ?! *2018-03-05* i really like this app concept. would be super cool if it could do some 24-7 data collection. i’d pay money for that ### 1/5 — Very unreliable *2017-03-19* This app doesn't collect data reliably. I tried collecting 9 or 10 times, and each time there were too many gaps in data collected. Also, oftentimes it would crash when I tried to export the data. Stay away from this app. I sent a message to the developer about this. I don't know if this app is being maintained at all. **Developer response:** Hi, Sorry to hear about your problems with Gathered. Gathered is developed by a single person, me, so hopefully I can help! Some of the data sources only record data when it changes. For example, if you don't move your phone then the GPS and accelerometer will only record 1 piece of data. I admit this isn't very clear and might not be how you want the app to work. I have fixed a crash when exporting data in the latest update (1.3), which should hopefully fix your problem. If you would like to continue this conversation and/or provide more information about the crash you're having, please fill out the form at https://yetii.net/contact?subject=gathered and I will get back to you. I am happy to discuss how the app works behind the scenes for anything that's confusing and to hear any feature requests or suggestions you may have. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-03-13* Love this app. Fantastic tool to monitor AND RECORD any of the sensor functions on the iPhone. Well done! ### 5/5 — Health Device *2016-09-09* EXCELLENT ! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2016-02-29, version 1.1* Does exactly what it says on the tin.
