Took just a minute to hang on first use! Clearly not the developer’s favourite child.
Quite weird if you were into technology and you tested your app and let it out into the world and any random first time user of the app sees a snag within a minute of starting to use it. I opened this app to use it as my society wants this to be the new app. Poured my details in, and the app started checking phone settings for sound notification etc and once done just hung! You cannot close the screen by the right top cross and all you can do is force end the app and open again. Pretty clumsy work . Just feels like a morning shows the day moment for me. And believe me i am a technology person too so I know why this isn’t the developers favourite child.

Extremely Intrusive. Everyone please disable your Notifications
Let’s get one thing straight. MyGate is NOT a gate entry/exit or society management app. It’s an extremely intrusive, spammy, noisy, unfriendly, anxiety inducing app which coincidentally ALSO manages gate security.
The creators of this app have succumbed to the very thing most Indian B2C startups succumb to – greed or incompetence. Either it’s a poorly built platform that cannot be maintained at scale without ad revenue, or the founders are just greedy and milking every bit of the UI space for throwing ads.
In any case, I have permanently disabled notifications on MyGate. I wait till the delivery person calls me from the gate and only then I approve. Unfortunately, it’s they who are paying the price by losing time and incentives due to MyGate’s pathetic user experience.
In this new age, societies should rely on internally built apps that don’t need such heavy tech to operate. I strongly encourage society management committees to become self reliant and build their own apps rather than rely on such spam factories.
Apps like MyGate are a reflection of the society in this country. Any empty patch on the roadside today, is an opportunity to stick an “IAS coaching” ad flyer. MyGate is the digital avatar of the outer side of a compound wall on a busy street in Bangalore.

Mygate
Super App that does everything to welcome new comers to the community.
Good luck
It’s very user friendly and convenient for the users of all ages
Ad supported version of mygate is as terrible as they come
If you yearn for the days of dial-up, internet explorer and crazy pop-ups and ads infesting every inch of your screen, there is no better nostalgia trip.
Yes, I know an ad-free premium experience available as the mygate community rep likes to remind in every negative review but unfortunately my community didn’t spring for it and I would like to record my experience of the ad-filled experience. The designer that allowed a slowly scrolling pop-up on the bottom left side of the screen landing exactly on top of the guest/delivery approval button deserves all the plaudits. Thank you for being the worst app I am forced to use everyday, it makes me cherish every other app on my phone.

Response from developer
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the ads. Ads are displayed only to societies using the free or basic plan to help keep the service available at no cost. We understand that excessive ads can impact usability and have shared this feedback with our product team for review.
Advertisement garbage
03/29 - Their developer response - Free tier has ads. ABSOLUTELY! I see all kinds of ads when I am in the app. Question is, why are you sending me push notifications regarding ads. STILL A PIECE OF JUNK.
03/2 - After turning the notification on, the only thing that this apps notifies is about are ads from open market. Garbage!

Good
Very effective
Clean and useful.
Less clutter and easy to use. Able to successfully let out on this app
Poor design and maintenance
I don’t know how others upload docs but this feature is clearly a nuisance since it is slow and errors out. Folks can’t even register. Worse part is there is no support email to send the ID docs to register ourselves. Pathetic
Good but slow
The app is useful for our community, but marketplace search and access is very slow. The UI could be more simple, now there is too much clutter.

Amazing app with excellent features, highly recommended
More of marketing junk and less clarity about what it should be.
Almost 20-90% of the screen and app is selling you junk and testimonials (probably paid ones) and one line of the so called Gate access related items on the homescreen. Can imagine the real data privacy let alone security from such an app/company
Response from developer
We’re sorry to hear this. Ads are shown only for societies on the Free/Basic plan and are not meant to overshadow core gate access features. We want to assure you that data privacy and security are top priorities for us, with strict access controls and compliance standards in place. We’ve noted your feedback and will share it with our team.
Marketplace
This is a feedback reg Mygate marketplace for used items.
Since a few weeks, one cannot see other items listed by an individual upon tapping their name unless they reside in same society.
I suppose you did it out of some frivolous privacy concern, but that is not a smart move. And likely kill your marketplace.
When I see a car listing, by seeing other listing of that person I can figure whether he is professional car dealer who has listed several cars, or genuine individual selling their own car. Similarly, folks who move out of the city tend to list several items. So one can see all the items available for sale by tapping on their name which is otherwise not possible if the person has created those several listing over a period of 3-4 days. Visible listing history is best way to trust a seller; that’s how every used item marketplace works in the world. Please re-enable it.

Not usable
This app has gone from bad to worse. Important actions like allowing entry doesn’t work. Instead I’m always logged out of the app and it shows me random promotional stories.
Mygate continues to surprise me with their innovation
Entry Gate camera read the Vehicle number plate and automatically without having to install any RFID etc
I like the app , 1 stop solution
I like the app. It’s your 1 stop solution for all your needs.

Very good

Awesome experience
Premium does nothing - don’t subscribe
They say auto approve is a feature. It doesn’t work. They’ll still make you open the app, see that irrelevant ad and make you click approve every freaking delivery. It’s a terrible product.
