About this app

Gather is the premium tool to bring your family and friends together on the road, at no cost!

Gather makes everyday life easier by connecting families via GPS location sharing in one place, with arrival and departure notifications, logged daily trips, car and vehicle servicing updates, driving insights, and detailed car history at no cost to you. Stay connected with your loved ones wherever you are.

How does it work?

Share updates while on the move:
Real-time location sharing, trip history and helpful insights.
Take the guesswork out of auto care:
Track car health stats, store service history, and stay ahead of what your car needs.
Find the right service center for your car:
Trusted local providers and clear maintenance schedules for your vehicle, all in one place.
Smarter ways to meet up together:
Plan and coordinate with friends: drop a pin, share ETAs and chat in real time.
Sell your car, stress-free:
List your vehicle, message buyers, and close the deal with help from us every step of the way.

Whether it’s the daily school carpool, an elderly family member’s trip to the store, or an exciting cross-country road trip for your college-aged kids, add family members and their cars to your community, so you can update each other, hands-free. We believe it shouldn’t cost a thing to stay safe and connected, together.

Never hit the road alone
Stay secure and connected while on the go. Track your trips, and enjoy location-sharing with your friends and family to let them know you arrived safely. With Gather’s GPS locator features, you can effortlessly see the movements of your friends and family in real-time, from your kids' arrival at soccer practice to ensuring the safe return of elderly relatives from their doctor's appointments. Our easy-to-use interface allows for easy location-sharing for your loved ones and their wi-fi enabled vehicles, eliminating the need for endless phone calls and text messages. Gather puts the power of GPS locator technology right at your fingertips.

Always on so you don’t have to be
With Gather, you’ll always have a pulse on your vehicle health. For wi-fi enabled vehicles, get in-app snapshots of your car’s data so you know it’s always ready for the road. And if anything pops up, we’ll ensure you have what you need to handle it. Gather’s vehicle updates notify you of any potential issues with your vehicle health, allowing you to take proactive steps to ensure its safety and longevity. Whether it's a low tire pressure warning or an important upcoming service, Gather keeps you informed and empowered to address any issues before they become serious problems.

worked at first... but now it has not updated anyone's location for three days. there is no option to manually refresh. nobody has changed any settings. it just doesn't work. only trying this out because we are switching to android but one phone at a time and we need something reliable while we have a mix of phones among us. this isn't it. according to this app, my children have been at their respective bus stops since Friday afternoon. it's now Monday...

Hi Jamie - We will reach out to you via email to investigate what is going on. In the meantime, could you check that your children are still logged into Gather by just opening the app on their phones? You can always reach us directly via email at support@gather.life. Thank you!

Hi Monte - I took a look into your issue and Gather is missing some permissions from your device that are needed in order to track location properly in the background. We will reach out to you via email with instructions on how to fix this. If you have any issues in the future, you can always email us directly at support@gather.life. Thank you!
